AI Summary
- Georgia Department of Driver Services would be required to issue an alternative personal identification card to any person who submits documentary evidence of identity and state residency, with accepted identity documents including consular IDs, foreign passports, DACA approval letters, asylum application receipts, school IDs, employer IDs, and other non-traditional forms of identification
- Applicants must provide proof of Georgia residency through documents such as a lease, utility bill, school enrollment records, insurance policy, bank statement, or tax filing with the Department of Revenue
- The card would cost $20.00 to issue, be valid for eight years, and renewable for $10.00 upon submission of updated residency documentation
- The card must be identical in appearance to a Real ID-compliant Georgia license or ID, except it must display the words "Federal Limits Apply" instead of a gold star and feature a red State of Georgia image instead of green
- Noncitizens holding a foreign driver's license or ID would not be required to surrender that foreign document when obtaining the new card, but the department must note the retained foreign credential on the person's driving record and make it accessible to law enforcement through the Georgia Crime Information Center
