Bill > LD1329

This bill requires driver's licenses and nondriver identification cards issued in Maine to explicitly indicate the citizenship status of the holder, specifically stating whether the individual is a United States citizen, a noncitizen, or an asylum seeker. The legislation amends existing state law by adding a new requirement that these identification documents must now include a clear designation of the holder's citizenship status alongside current required information like name, date of birth, and residence address. By mandating this additional information, the bill aims to provide a more comprehensive form of identification that immediately reveals an individual's citizenship or immigration status. The changes will affect both driver's licenses and nondriver identification cards issued by the Maine Secretary of State, and applicants will need to provide information about their citizenship status when applying for or renewing these documents.
