AI Summary

  • Department of Health and Human Services may establish a program to issue free photo identification cards to Nevada residents experiencing homelessness who are 10 years of age or older and do not hold a valid driver's license or ID from any jurisdiction

  • Applicants must attest to their homeless status and provide proof of legal name and age using DMV-required documents; cards issued without verified identity documents must clearly indicate this on the face of the card

  • Cards remain valid up to 8 years and do not expire when the holder is no longer homeless; cards must be surrendered upon obtaining a driver's license or other state ID

  • Local governments may accept these identification cards for any activity or transaction where DMV-issued identification is accepted, though the cards do not authorize motor vehicle operation or convey independent benefit rights

  • Sex offenders and offenders convicted of crimes against children cannot receive cards until verified compliant with registration requirements; personal information in Department records is confidential and not a public record
