(a)
General requirements. During
the month of expiration or as provided in (c) of this Section, any
identification card holder, who wishes to keep his or her identification card
in force, may present proper identification to a Licensed Operator and pay the
required fee. REAL ID Non-Compliant Identification cards issued to individuals
who have attained the age of 65 or older are issued for an indefinite period of
time and are not subject to this Section. Failure to renew an identification

obligation to renew the identification card under the provisions required by
law and this Section if the person wishes to keep the identification card in
force.

been cut off by either a Licensed Operator or a Driver License
Examiner.

Renewal without
identification card. Any person who does not have the expiring or
expired identification card shall provide both primary and secondary
