The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 1. (1) An individual who is a resident of this state may
apply to the secretary of state for an official state personal 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 citizenship of the applicant. If an applicant for an official
state 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 must 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 an
official state personal identification card must be made in a manner prescribed
by the secretary of state and must 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 if the applicant receives mail at an address different from
his or her residence address. Beginning June 27, 2021, if the applicant is a
program participant in the address confidentiality program under the address
confidentiality program act, 2020 PA 301, MCL 780.851 to 780.873, he or she
shall present to the secretary of state his or her participation card issued
under the address confidentiality program act, 2020 PA 301, MCL 780.851 to

official state personal identification card must indicate on the application or
change of address application whether he or she is a citizen of the United

declines to use the application as a voter registration application.
