§ 7.
Duplicate and corrected cards. (a) In the event an identification card is lost or destroyed, or if there is a correction of legal name or residence address, or a change in the type or class of disability of a holder of an Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card, the person named on the card may apply for a duplicate or substitute card, or for a corrected card. Any application for a corrected card shall be accompanied by the original card being corrected. (b) The Secretary of State, having issued an identification card in error, may, upon written notice of at least 5 days to the person, require the person to appear at a Driver Services facility to have the identification card error corrected and a new identification card issued. The failure of the person to appear is grounds for cancellation of the person's identification card under Section 13 of this Act. (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, the Secretary of State shall restrict the issuance of multiple duplicate identification cards and Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Cards to any individual to 3 per year and 10 for the life of individual. The Secretary may, in his or her discretion, grant exceptions to these limits if the applicant for a duplicate card can provide sufficient evidence from an official source to establish that a duplicate identification card is required. The Secretary may promulgate rules to implement the requirements of this subsection. For purposes of this Section, "official source" means any document or report created by law enforcement, State or federal government, the judiciary, and any other entity that the Secretary may identify by rule.
