§ 32-12-17.2. Nondriver identification cards--Application--Fee--Renewal--Contents--Expiration.

The Department of Public Safety may issue upon application a nondriver identification card, similar in form but distinguishable in color from a driver license, to any resident of this state. Each applicant for a nondriver identification card shall, as part of the application, present to the department a certified copy of a certificate of birth or another form of evidence of date of birth and identity as allowed by § 32-12-3.1.

Except as provided in § 32-12-17.16, the fees for a nondriver identification card are the same as prescribed for a driver license in § 32-12-16. Each nondriver identification card expires on the holder's birthday in the fifth year following the issuance of the nondriver identification card, or on the date of expiration of the applicant's authorized stay in the United States as determined by the systematic alien verification for entitlements system or alternate method approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security or, if there is no expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance, whichever occurs first. Each nondriver identification card is renewable one hundred eighty days before its expiration upon application and payment of the required fee. Any nondriver identification card renewed before its expiration expires five years after the holder's ensuing birthday, or on the date of expiration of the applicant's authorized stay in the United States as determined by the systematic alien verification for entitlements system or alternate method approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security or, if there is no expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance, whichever occurs first.

The nondriver identification card must bear an indication if the holder:

(1)    Has a living will pursuant to chapter 34-12D or a durable power of attorney for health care pursuant to chapter 59-7;

(2)    Is a veteran pursuant to the provisions of § 32-12-17.15; and

(3)    Is a United States citizen.

Any nondriver identification card renewed during the thirty-day period following the date of expiration expires five years from the holder's previous birthday, or on the date of expiration of the applicant's authorized stay in the United States as determined by the systematic alien verification for entitlements system or alternate method approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security or, if there is no expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance, whichever occurs first.
