expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance, whichever occurs first.
Each nondriver identification card is renewable one hundred eighty days before its expiration upon
application and payment of the required fee. Any nondriver identification card renewed before its
expiration expires five years after the holder's ensuing birthday, or on the date of expiration of the
applicant's authorized stay in the United States as determined by the systematic alien verification for
entitlements system or alternate method approved by the United States Department of Homeland
Security or, if there is no expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance,
whichever occurs first. The nondriver identification card shall bear an indication if the holder has
a living will pursuant to chapter 34-12D or a durable power of attorney for health care pursuant to
chapter 59-7 and an indication if the holder is a veteran pursuant to the provisions of section 3 of this
Act. Any nondriver identification card renewed during the thirty-day period following the date of
expiration expires five years from the holder's previous birthday, or on the date of expiration of the
applicant's authorized stay in the United States as determined by the systematic alien verification for
entitlements system or alternate method approved by the United States Department of Homeland
Security or, if there is no expiration date, for a period no longer than one year from date of issuance,
whichever occurs first.
