However, a card may be issued to a person holding a temporary permit under Iowa Code section 321.181. 630.1(2) Information concerning the nonoperator’s identification card is available at any driver’s license service center or at the address in 761—600.2(17A).Related ARC(s): 4437C761—630.2(321) Application and issuance. 630.2(1) An applicant for a nonoperator’s identification card shall complete and sign an application form at a driver’s license service center. The signature shall be without qualification and shall contain only the applicant’s usual signature without any other titles, characters or symbols. 630.2(2) The applicant shall present proof of identity, date of birth, social security number, Iowa residency, current residential address and lawful status as required by rule 761—601.5(321). If applicable, submission of a parent’s, guardian’s or custodian’s consent is also required in accordance with rule 761—601.6(321). The applicant or a current cardholder may provide the department with emergency contact information in accordance with rule 761—601.3(321). 630.2(3) The nonoperator’s identification card shall be coded for identification only, as explained on the reverse side of the card. The card shall expire eight years from the date of issue. A card issued to a person who is a foreign national with temporary lawful status shall be issued only for the length of time the person is authorized to be present in the United States as verified by the department, not to exceed two years. However, if the person’s lawful status as verified by the department has no expiration date, the card shall be issued for a period of no longer than one year. 630.2(4) Upon the request of the cardholder, the department shall indicate on the nonoperator’s identification card any of the following: a. The presence of a medical condition. b. That the cardholder is a donor under the uniform anatomical gift law. c. That the cardholder has in effect a medical advance directive. d. That the cardholder is hard of hearing or deaf. e. That the cardholder is a veteran. (1) To be eligible for a veteran designation, the cardholder must be an honorably discharged veteran of the armed forces of the United States, the national guard or reserve forces. A cardholder who requests a veteran designation shall submit Form 432035, properly completed by the cardholder and a designee of the Iowa department of veterans affairs, or the cardholder shall present certification of release or discharge from active duty, DD form 214, to the department indicating that the cardholder was honorably discharged from active duty. A cardholder who was a member of the national guard or reserve forces and who applies directly to the department must present a DD form 214 which indicates that the cardholder was honorably discharged after serving for at least a minimum aggregate (total) of 90 days of active duty service for purposes other than training. A cardholder who was a member of the national guard or reserve forces and who has a discharge document other than a DD form 214 must have the cardholder’s eligibility for a veteran designation determined by a designee of the Iowa department of veterans affairs and shall apply to the department for a veteran designation by submitting Form 432035, properly completed by the cardholder and a designee of the Iowa department of veterans affairs. (2) The department may consult with and defer to the Iowa department of veterans affairs regarding what constitutes a properly completed DD form 214 and veteran status in general. (3) If the department denies issuance of a nonoperator’s identification card with a veteran designation upon presentation of the DD form 214 to the department, the cardholder may obtain a card with a veteran designation if the cardholder submits Form 432035, properly completed by the cardholder and a designee of the Iowa department of veterans affairs. (4) If the department issues a veteran designation in error or as the result of fraud on the part of the cardholder, the nonoperator’s identification card with a veteran designation shall be canceled, and a duplicate card without the designation may be issued to the cardholder. There shall be no charge to issue a duplicate card if the card was issued in error, unless the error was the result of fraud on the part of the cardholder. f. That the cardholder has autism spectrum disorder. 630.2(5) The issuance fee is $8.
