Relates to requiring an updated signature and photo image for renewal and display on a renewed license
This bill requires drivers in New York to provide an updated signature and photo when renewing their driver's licenses. The photo must be displayed on the new license, and both elements must be submitted as part of the renewal application. It applies to all license renewals, including non-commercial driver's licenses, and replaces the previous requirement for a social security number with an affidavit option for those without one. The change aims to modernize identification verification for license holders.
