Adding tribal designation information to driver's licenses, identicards, and driver's instruction permits.
SB 6350 allows Washington residents enrolled in a federally recognized tribe to voluntarily add a tribal designation to their driver's license, identicard, or driver's instruction permit. The bill requires the Department of Licensing to create a process for verifying tribal enrollment documentation and include this option alongside existing features like veteran status or medical alerts. This designation is optional, does not affect fees, and applies to all state-issued IDs for eligible individuals who choose to provide the necessary tribal enrollment proof. The department must consult with tribes during implementation and educate the public about this new option.
