Bill Summary

Allows applicants who do not have social security numbers who are citizens to instead submit an affidavit affirming citizenship when applying for a non-REAL ID complaint driver's license or nondriver's license

AI Summary

This bill modifies Missouri's driver's license regulations by prohibiting the Department of Revenue from requiring Social Security numbers for non-REAL ID compliant driver's licenses and nondriver's identification cards. Specifically, applicants who are U.S. citizens and have never been issued a Social Security number may submit an affidavit affirming their citizenship in lieu of providing a Social Security number. The bill also allows applicants to provide their own photographs when applying for non-REAL ID compliant licenses and requires the Department of Revenue to not retain these photographs if requested. Additionally, the bill stipulates that facial recognition cameras cannot be used when producing non-REAL ID compliant licenses. These changes provide more flexibility for individuals who may have difficulty obtaining or providing traditional identification documentation, while maintaining the overall integrity of the licensing process. The modifications aim to make obtaining a driver's license or identification card more accessible for certain populations who might face challenges with standard documentation requirements.
