A 6692 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Allows authorized representatives to apply for identification cards

This bill allows authorized representatives (such as family members or legal guardians) to apply for state-issued identification cards on behalf of qualified applicants who cannot apply themselves. It amends vehicle and traffic law to explicitly permit representatives to submit applications, pay fees, and provide required documentation like Social Security numbers. The bill also requires DMV forms to include options for veterans to have a notation on their ID cards and for organ donation registry registration. These changes streamline ID access for vulnerable individuals while adding standard identification and benefit options. The policy directly affects New York residents needing ID who lack the capacity to apply independently.
