A. Any Louisiana resident may obtain a special identification card from the office
of motor vehicles within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, hereinafter
referred to as "OMV". The identifying information and documents of identification required
to obtain a special identification card shall be the same as those required to obtain a
Louisiana driver's license, as stated in R.S. 32:409.1. However, if the applicant is seventeen
years of age, the signature of the custodial parent or guardian shall not be required, provided
that the applicant has the necessary identifying information and documents. If the applicant
is fourteen to sixteen years of age and is accompanied by a person over the age of twenty-one
years with whom the applicant lives, or the applicant is accompanied by a person over the
age of twenty-one years who works for a nonprofit agency that assists children under the age
of eighteen, that person may sign in lieu of the custodial parent or guardian for the issuance
of a special identification card, provided that the applicant has the necessary identifying
information and documents and is not requesting a REAL ID.
B.(1) Each special identification card shall be accepted as valid identification of the
person to whom it was issued when it is presented physically or in the form of a digitized
special identification card for the purpose of furnishing proof of that person's identification.
Under no circumstances shall the state of Louisiana, or any of its agencies, be held liable in
any manner legally or otherwise as a result of the use or misuse of a special identification
card.
(2)(a) For purposes of this Subsection, a digitized special identification card shall
mean a data file available on any mobile device which has connectivity to the internet
through an application that allows the mobile device to download the data file from the
department or an authorized representative of the department and contains all of the data
elements visible on the face and back of the special identification card, displays the current
status of the identification card, and shall include any special identification card that
complies with the standards of REAL ID as provided for in Subsection P of this Section. For
purposes of this Subparagraph, "current status" shall include but is not limited to valid,
expired, or cancelled.
(b) A digital copy, photograph, or image of a special identification card which is not
downloaded through the application on a mobile device shall not be considered a valid
digitized special identification card as provided by this Subsection.
(c) In connection with requests for identification not associated with traffic stops or
checkpoints in Louisiana, a person may be required to produce a physical special
identification card to a law enforcement officer, a representative of a state or federal
department or agency, or a private entity when so requested and be subject to all the
applicable laws and consequences for failure to produce such identification card.
(d) The Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall promulgate rules as are
necessary to implement a digitized special identification card. No digitized special
identification card shall be valid until the department has adopted the rules.
(e) The display of a digitized special identification card shall not serve as consent or
authorization for a law enforcement officer, or any other person, to search, view, or access
any other data or application on the mobile device. If a person presents their mobile device
to a law enforcement officer for purposes of displaying their digitized special identification
card, the law enforcement officer shall promptly return the mobile device to the person once
he has had an opportunity to verify the identity of the person.
(f) The fee to install the application to display a digitized special identification card
as defined in Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph shall not exceed six dollars.
C. This Subsection and Subsection D of this Section shall establish and be cited as
the Protect and Save our Children Program for issuance of special identification cards for
persons under the age of sixteen. The fee for the issuance or renewal of a special
identification card for persons under the age of sixteen shall be three dollars for a two-year
identification card and seven dollars and fifty cents for a six-year identification card. The
fee for the issuance or renewal of a special identification card for persons sixteen years of age
or older shall be fifteen dollars. However, this fee shall be waived for:
(1) Any person who does not have a Louisiana driver's license, upon presentation of
his voter registration card or certificate.
(2) Any child who is in foster care as defined in Children's Code Article 603.
D.(1)(a) Each special identification card issued to a person under the age of sixteen
shall expire every two years for the three-dollar identification card and every six years for the
seven-dollar-and-fifty-cents identification card and may be renewed only by personal
appearance. Each special identification card for a person sixteen years of age or older shall
expire every six years but may be renewed. The OMV may issue the special identification
card for a period of less than six years in circumstances of medical, legal presence, or other
special restriction. Where the OMV issues a special identification card to a properly
documented alien student or a nonresident alien, the special identification card shall both:
(i) Expire on the date for which the alien's immigration documents expire or six
years after issuance, whichever is sooner.
(ii) Contain a restriction code which declares that the special identification card
holder is an alien student or a nonresident alien.
(b)(i) Any United States male citizen or immigrant who is fifteen years of age, but
less than eighteen years of age, shall provide personal information, including a social security
number, if available, to the office of motor vehicles when applying to receive or renew a
special identification card for the purpose of registration with the Selective Service. Upon
the applicant attaining the age of eighteen years, the applicant shall automatically be
registered with the Selective Service. The office of motor vehicles shall forward to the
Selective Service System, in an electronic format, the necessary personal information
required for registration with the Selective Service after receiving the application to issue or
renew a special identification card. The application for issuance or renewal of a special
identification card shall include all information required according to the provisions of R.S.
32:418.
(ii) The office of motor vehicles shall not issue or renew any special identification
card to any person who refuses to provide personal information for registration with the
Selective Service.
(2) With the exception of a special identification card issued to a properly
documented alien student and nonresident alien, special identification cards which were
obtained by personal appearance at an office of OMV may be renewed by personal
appearance or may be renewed by mail. Special identification cards issued to properly
documented alien students and nonresident aliens may be renewed only by personal
appearance at an office of OMV if the alien can produce proper immigration documents
which establish that the alien is legally in the United States. Special identification cards
which were obtained by renewal by mail may be renewed only by personal appearance at an
office of OMV.
E.(1) Each special identification card shall be similar in size, shape, and design to
the Louisiana driver's license, and shall include a picture of the person to whom the card is
issued. Each special identification card shall clearly state that it does not enable the person
to whom it is issued to operate a motor vehicle. Beginning January 1, 2000, and thereafter,
special identification cards issued pursuant to this Section to applicants less than twenty-one
years of age shall contain a highly visible distinctive color to clearly indicate that the card has
been issued to an applicant less than twenty-one years of age.
(2) Beginning January 1, 2007, the office of motor vehicles of the Department of
Public Safety and Corrections shall provide for a method by which an applicant has the
option of including emergency contact information in the operating record of the special
identification card to which law enforcement and emergency personnel will have access.
F. No later than December 1, 1999, OMV shall adopt rules for the effective
implementation of the provisions of this Section, including but not limited to rules relating
to the choice of color and placement on the special identification card for cards issued to
applicants less than twenty-one years of age. All rules shall be adopted in accordance with
the Administrative Procedure Act. OMV shall utilize the various communications media
throughout the state to inform Louisiana residents of the provisions of this Section and to
encourage and promote the general public to take advantage of these provisions.

of obtaining a special identification card, or any person found to be in possession of a
fictitious special identification card or a special identification card which has been
intentionally altered, or which has been caused to be altered, by such person, or any person
who lends his special identification card to another person for unlawful or fraudulent
purposes, or any person who refuses to surrender the special identification card to the
department upon its lawful demand, shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more
than five hundred dollars or shall be imprisoned for not more than six months, or both, and
shall surrender the special identification card for cancellation. Such person shall not be
entitled to apply for a replacement or subsequent special identification card.

obtain a special identification card without charge. This provision shall not apply to the
special identification card required to be obtained by a sex offender pursuant to Subsection
