AN ACT

SB 317

Relating to identification cards; amending ORS 807.400.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

SECTION 1. ORS 807.400 is amended to read:

807.400. (1) The Department of Transportation shall issue an identification card to any person who:

(a) Is domiciled in or resident of this state, as described in ORS 807.062;

(b) Does not have a current, valid driver license;

and

(c) [who] Furnishes such evidence of the person’s age and identity as the department may require.

(2) The department shall work with other agencies and organizations to attempt to improve the issuance system for identification cards.

[(2)] (3) Every original application for an identification card must be signed by the applicant. The department shall require at least one document to verify the address of an applicant for issuance of an identification card in addition to other documents the department may require of the applicant. If the address of an applicant has changed since the last time an identification card was issued to or renewed for the applicant, the department shall require proof to verify the address of an applicant for renewal of an identification card, in addition to anything else the department may require.

[(3)] (4) Every identification card shall be issued upon the standard license form described under ORS 807.110 and shall bear a statement to the effect that the identification card is not a license or any other grant of driving privileges to operate a motor vehicle and is to be used for identification purposes only. The department shall use the same security procedures, processes, materials and features for an identification card as are required for a license under ORS 807.110.

[(4)] (5) Upon order of the juvenile court, the department shall include on the card the fact that the person issued the identification card is an emancipated minor.

[(5)] (6) Each original identification card shall expire on a date consistent with the expiration dates of licenses as set forth in ORS 807.130.

[(6)] (7) Identification cards shall be renewed under the terms for renewal of licenses as set forth in ORS 807.150.

[(7)] (8) The fee for an original identification card or a renewal thereof shall be the fee established under ORS 807.410. In no event shall the issuance or renewal of an identification card be subject to any fee in addition to that set forth in ORS 807.410.

[(8)] (9) An identification card becomes invalid if the holder of the card changes residence address from that shown on the identification card and does not provide the department with notice of the change as required under ORS 807.420.

[(9)] (10) If a person to whom an identification card was issued and who changes residence address appears in person at a department office that issues identification cards, the department may do any of the following:

(a) Issue a new identification card containing the new address but bearing the same distinguishing number as the old identification card upon receipt of the old identification card and payment of the fee established for issuing a new identification card with a changed address under ORS 807.410.

(b) Note the new address on the old identification card in a manner to be determined by the department.

[(10)] (11) An identification card becomes invalid if the holder of the card changes the person’s name from that shown on the card, including a change of name by marriage, without providing the department with notice of the change as required under ORS 807.420. Upon receiving such notice and the old identification card, the department shall issue a new identification card upon payment of the fee required under ORS 807.410.

[(11)] (12) In the event an identification card is lost, destroyed or mutilated, the person to whom it was issued may obtain a duplicate or replacement identification card from the department upon furnishing proof satisfactory to the department of such fact and payment of the duplicate or replacement fee under ORS 807.410.

[(12)] (13) Upon cancellation of an identification card, the card is terminated and must be surrendered to the department. An identification card may be canceled for any of the reasons that driving privileges or a license may be canceled under ORS 809.310. The department may reissue an identification card canceled under this subsection when the applicant has satisfied all requirements for the identification card.

[(13)] (14) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the department may issue an identification card to a person under this subsection without charge when the person surrenders a license or driver permit to the department for reasons described in this subsection. If the department issues an identification card under this subsection, the identification card shall expire at the same time as the surrendered driver license or driver permit would have expired. An identification card issued under this subsection is subject to the same requirements and fees for renewal or upon expiration as any other identification card issued under this section. The department may issue identification cards under this subsection as described under any of the following:

(a) The department may issue an identification card under this subsection to a person who voluntarily surrenders a license or driver permit to the department based upon the person’s recognition that the person is no longer competent to drive.

(b) The department may issue an identification card to a person under this subsection when the person’s driving privileges are suspended under a provision of ORS 809.410 or 813.400 that provides the department may issue an identification card for purposes of identification. This paragraph only applies if the person voluntarily surrenders the person’s license or driver permit to the department as provided under ORS 809.500.
