A bill for an act relating to the verification of citizenship and immigration status of persons who apply for or renew a driver’s license or nonoperator’s identification card, and including applicability provisions.

Summary

The Iowa Department of Transportation must use the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, or any successor system, to check the citizenship or lawful immigration status of anyone applying for or renewing a driver’s license or non‑operator ID who does not already provide proof of citizenship. If the verification cannot confirm lawful presence, the department may not issue or renew the license or ID. The measure is intended to ensure that Iowa’s official identification is only given to citizens or lawfully present residents.
