This law allows the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue identification cards to individuals who provide accurate personal information, such as full name and age. However, if someone already has a Real ID driver's license, they cannot receive a Real ID identification card. The DMV may cancel an ID card to ensure this rule is followed. People aged 62 or older can apply for an ID card labeled 'Senior Citizen.' Applications must be signed under penalty of perjury and supported by documents verifying the applicant's age and identity. Before issuing an ID, the DMV must have the applicant's fingerprint on file. Lastly, a person cannot have both a regular and senior identification card at the same time.

This law states that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can refuse to issue or renew an identification card if someone has used a fake name, pretended to be someone else, or lied on their application. The DMV can also cancel an existing ID card for these same reasons. If your ID card is canceled, you must return it to the DMV.

If you have documents showing you're accepted into the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, it counts as proof that you're legally allowed to be in the U.S. under federal law.

With these documents, you can apply for an original identification card in California, as long as you also provide a social security number or proof that you're not eligible for one.

Starting by July 1, 2027, the department will issue identification cards to certain individuals who can't prove they are legally allowed to be in the U.S., as long as they qualify in other ways and are not described in a specific exception. This ID card aligns with what is specified in another section, Section 12801.9.

This law explains how long a California identification card is valid and outlines the renewal process. Most ID cards expire on the applicant's sixth birthday after getting the card, while senior ID cards expire on the eighth birthday after issuance. If the ID card isn't renewed within a certain period, its record will be destroyed. Senior citizens have longer validity periods compared to the general population. If someone gives up their driver's license due to a physical or mental condition, they can receive an ID card at no extra cost. The law allows for adjustments to the expiration dates to align with other legal documents, and the rules detailed here have been effective since January 1, 2018.

This law requires the director to set up a program for renewing identification cards either by mail or online. When you first apply for an ID card, you follow the rules in Section 13000. After January 1, 2018, people aged 62 or older can renew their ID cards for eight years and do this by mail or online once. For everyone else, renewals last six years with up to two renewals by mail or online. This law started on January 1, 2018.

If you lose, destroy, or damage your California ID card, or if you change your name, you need to apply for a new one following the rules in Section 13000 and pay a fee. This new card will be treated just like the first one and will expire as described in Section 13002.

If your ID card is damaged and you're told this by the DMV or police, you must turn it in to the DMV within 10 days. A card is considered damaged if the details on it can't be read using regular methods.

This law makes it illegal to misuse identification cards in several ways. First, you can't have or show any ID card that is canceled, fake, or altered. You also can't let someone else use your ID card, and you can't use someone else's ID card as your own. It's illegal to allow any unlawful use of your ID card or to do anything forbidden by these rules. Making copies of an ID card that could be mistaken for a real one is also not allowed, unless the law specifically says it's okay. Lastly, you can't change an ID card in any unauthorized way.

This California law makes it illegal to make or sell fake ID cards that look similar to official ones or claim to provide the same benefits as official identification cards. If someone breaks this law, it's considered a misdemeanor. Penalties include a fine between $250 and $1,000 and at least 24 hours of community service, which can't be reduced or waived. Alternatively, the court may choose to impose a jail time of up to one year and a fine of up to $1,000, based on the person's intent to profit from the fake IDs. Additionally, being charged under this law doesn't prevent other legal actions for related offenses.

This law describes how California identification cards should look similar to driver's licenses and what information they must contain to prevent alterations or forgeries. When issuing or renewing ID cards, the state provides information on organ donation, along with a form to join the Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. The Department must work with Donate Life California to agree on this form's design. If there’s no agreement, they’ll create a simple form requiring personal and donor consent details, limiting donation types, explaining online removal, and accepting donations to the registry.

This form is legally recognized under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, and the registry updates should happen within 30 days of receipt. Information gathered for this purpose is private and strictly used for registry needs. Lastly, any contract for ID card processing with an outside entity must follow state contracting regulations.

This section states that any identification card issued to senior citizens, as specified in another part of the law, must include the words 'Senior Citizen' on it.

This California law states that identification cards must have a full-face picture of the holder. The state cannot share or sell this picture or any related personal information without the cardholder’s consent, except to companies under contract for card production who must keep the information confidential. IDs will display a notice that they are merely for identification, not for employment, voting, or public benefits. Real ID cards have specific notices distinguishing their use and limitations. The law is set to be updated with these ID card notices upon the driver's license revision and will be repealed in the year following the update notification to the Legislature.

This law outlines the requirements for identification cards in California. First, all identification cards must have a full-face photo of the cardholder. Second, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) cannot distribute or sell the photo or physical information of the cardholder without their permission, except to a few specific entities that have strict contracts. Third, there are different types of ID cards: Real ID cards and non-Real ID cards. Real ID cards have a notice that they are solely for identification and do not grant eligibility for certain activities or benefits like employment or voting. Non-Real ID cards have additional restrictions and cannot be used for federal purposes like flying on planes. Finally, this section will take effect once the DMV updates the ID cards as specified.

This law states that no government agency or employee can be held responsible for any harm or loss caused by incorrect information on identification cards or stickers that they issue. This means if there's a mistake on an ID or sticker, you can't sue the government or its workers for any problems it causes you.

If you move or change your address after getting a state-issued ID card, you must inform the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) about your old and new address within 10 days. This helps ensure that your ID card has the correct address on it.

This California law allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to verify the identity of people born before 1916 who apply for an ID card using U.S. Census records, even if the birth date and month are missing. However, it's illegal for applicants to falsely claim in writing that they do not have a birth certificate if one actually exists.

This law explains what 'cancellation' means for an identification card. It refers to ending the card's validity without any negative consequences. The card is canceled if it was issued by mistake or if the cardholder willingly gives it back to the department.
