Sexual offender driver's license and identification card designations

Introduced·5/6/25

Sexual Offender Act mandates special identifiers on driver's licenses and identification cards for sex offenders and sexually violent predators.

The Sexual Offender Act requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to place specific identifiers on the driver's licenses and identification cards of individuals who are either adjudicated as sexually violent predators or required to register as sex offenders. These identifiers must be printed in red and state "Sexually Violent Predator" or "Sex Offender." The Department of Motor Vehicles may charge a fee for affixing these identifiers. Individuals have 30 days to turn in their current licenses and obtain new ones with the required identifiers.
