Two recent law changes, operative July 1, 2008, dictate many changes in the requirements for a driver license, driver permit or identification card. A person applying for issuance, renewal or replacement must provide proof of a verifiable Social Security number (or ineligibility for a Social Security number) and proof of U.S. citizenship or legal presence in the U.S.
A person must also submit to the collection of biometric data (a photograph) for the purpose of establishing the person's identity.
