39:3-29.3  Identification cards, issuance; contents.
2.  The Division of Motor Vehicles shall issue an identification card to any resident of the State who is 17 years of age or older and who is not the holder of a valid learner's permit or a valid driver's license.  The identification card shall attest to the true name, correct age, and other identifying data as certified by the applicant for such identification card. Every application for an identification card shall be signed and verified by the applicant and shall be supported by such documentary evidence of the age and identity, or blindness, disability, or handicap, of such person as the division may require.  In addition to requiring an applicant for an identification card to submit satisfactory proof of identity and age, the director also shall require the applicant to provide, as a condition for obtaining the card, satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.  If the director has reasonable cause to suspect that any document presented by an applicant as proof of identity, age or legal residency is altered, false or otherwise invalid, the director shall refuse to grant the identification card until such time as the document may be verified by the issuing agency to the director's satisfaction.
