The card shall be issued to the applicant at the time of application pursuant to procedures established by rule.

The card shall be identical in form to a driver's license issued under section 321.189 except the word "nonoperator" shall appear prominently on the face of the card. A nonoperator's identification card issued to a person under twenty-one years of age shall include the word "minor" prominently on the face of the card.

No issuance fee shall be charged for a person whose motor vehicle license or driving privilege has been suspended under section 321.210, subsection 1, paragraph "c".
The nonoperator's identification card fees shall be transmitted by the department to the treasurer of state who shall credit the fees to the road use tax fund.
