Alaska Administrative Code › Title 2 - Administration › Chapter 90 - Driver Licensing and Safety Responsibility › Article 8 - General Provisions › 2 AAC 90.580 - Document verification requirements

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) The department shall make reasonable
				efforts to ensure that the applicant does not have more than one driver's
				license or identification card that is federally compliant already issued by
				this state under a different identity. In cases where an individual is
				permitted to hold both a driver's license and identification card, the
				department shall ensure that the individual has not been issued identification
				documents in multiple or different names. The department shall also comply with
				the provisions of 2 AAC 90.630 before issuing a driver's license or
				identification card.
(b) The
				department must verify the documents and information required under 2 AAC 90.570 with the issuer of the document. The department must use systems for
				electronic validation of document and identity data as they become available or
				United States Department of Homeland Security approved alternate
				methods.
(c) The department shall
				verify a document described in 2 AAC 90.570(e) or (j) and issued by the United
				States Department of Homeland Security including, the 1-94 form described in 2 AAC 90.570 through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system or
				alternate methods approved by the Department of Homeland Security, except that
				if the applicant presents two or more Department of Homeland Security issued
				documents, a Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system verification
				of one document that confirms lawful status does not need to be repeated for
				the additional document. In the event of a non-match between the information in
				the presented document, and the verification system, the department may not
				issue a driver's license or identification card that is federally compliant to
				an applicant and must refer the applicant to the United States Citizenship and
				Immigration Services for resolution.
(d) The department must verify an applicant's
				social security number with the Social Security Administration or through a
				Department of Homeland Security approved method. In the event of a non-match
				with the Social Security Administration, the department may use existing
				procedures to resolve the non-match. If the department is unable to resolve the
				non-match, and the use of an exceptions process is not warranted in the
				situation, the department may not issue a driver's license or identification
				card that is federally compliant to an applicant until the information verifies
				with the Social Security Administration.
(e) The department must verify a birth
				certificate presented by an applicant using the Electronic Verification of
				Vital Events system or a Department of Homeland Security approved alternate
				method. If the document does not appear authentic upon inspection or there is a
				non-match, and the use of an exceptions process is not warranted in the
				situation, the department may not issue a driver's license or identification
				card that is federally compliant to the applicant until the information
				verifies. The department may refer the applicant to the appropriate issuing
				office for resolution.
(f) The
				department shall verify documents issued by the Department of State with the
				Department of State or through methods approved by the Department of Homeland
				Security.
(g) The department must
				verify driver's licenses and identification cards that are federally compliant
				with the State of issuance.
(h)
				Nothing in this section prohibits the department from issuing a temporary
				license or a license issued under 2 AAC 90.660 that will not be accepted for
				official purposes, to allow the individual to resolve any
				non-match.
