§ 338.834. Identification card; issuance; form and contents; maintenance, custody, and control; duplicates.

Sec. 14.

(1) Upon issuing a license, the department shall also issue an identification card to the principal license holder or, if the agency is a partnership, to each partner or, if the license holder is a corporation or limited liability company, to each resident officer, manager, or member.

(2) The identification card issued under subsection (1) shall be in such form and contain such information as may be prescribed by the department and is recallable by the department for the same reasons as the license.

(3) The department shall only issue 1 identification card for each person entitled to receive it. The licensee is responsible for the maintenance, custody, and control of the identification card and shall not lease, loan, sell, or otherwise permit unauthorized persons or employees to use it. This subsection does not prevent each agency from issuing its own identification cards, if approved as to form and content by the department, to its respective employees. The individual identification card shall not bear the seal of the state or the designation of professional investigator, but the identification card may designate the employee as an investigator or operator and may state that the person is employed by a licensee of the department and the state of Michigan.

(4) Upon proper application and for sufficient reasons shown, the department may issue duplicates of the original license or identification card.
