identification card. Upon application, the applicant shall supply a
photographic identity document, a birth certificate or other
nonphotographic identity document, and other sufficient documents
as the secretary of state may require to verify the identity and

personal identification card is not a citizen of the United States,
the applicant shall supply a photographic identity document and
other sufficient documents to verify the identity of the applicant
and the applicant's legal presence in the United States under
subsection (5). The documents required under this subsection shall
include the applicant's full legal name, date of birth, address,
and residency and demonstrate that the applicant is a citizen of
the United States or is legally present in the United States. If
the applicant's full legal name differs from the name of the
applicant that appears on a document presented under this
subsection, the applicant shall present documents to verify his or
her current full legal name. An application for a state personal
identification card shall be made in a manner prescribed by the
secretary of state and shall contain the applicant's full legal
name, date of birth, residence address, height, sex, eye color,
signature, intent to be an organ donor, other information required
or permitted on the official state personal identification card
and, only to the extent to comply with federal law, the applicant's
social security number. The applicant may provide a mailing address

her residence address. For automatic voter registration purposes
under section 493a of the Michigan election law, 1954 PA 116, MCL
