Driver’s licenses: identification cards.

Summary

AB 1151 lets anyone 62 years old or older apply for a state ID using the same form they use to cancel or give up a driver’s license, and the ID will carry a “Senior Citizen” label. It also prevents the DMV from issuing a Real ID card to someone who already holds a Real ID driver’s license and requires standard identity verification. The change is meant to make it easier for seniors to obtain an ID and avoid duplicate Real ID documents.
