Every application shall be accompanied by the proper fee and payment of such fee shall entitle the applicant to not more than 3 attempts to pass the examination within a period of 1 year after the date of application.

(b) Every application shall state the legal name, social security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and residence address of the applicant; briefly describe the applicant; state whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed as a driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and whether any such license has ever been cancelled, suspended, revoked or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such cancellation, suspension, revocation or refusal; shall include an affirmation by the applicant that all information set forth is true and correct; and shall bear the applicant's signature. The application form may also require the statement of such additional relevant information as the Secretary of State shall deem necessary to determine the applicant's competency and eligibility.

(b-1) The Secretary of State may in his discretion substitute a federal tax number in lieu of a social security number, or he may instead assign an additional distinctive number in lieu thereof, where an applicant is prohibited by bona fide religious convictions from applying or is exempt from applying for a social security number. The Secretary of State shall, however, determine which religious orders or sects have such bona fide religious convictions.

(b-2)(1) In compliance with the federal REAL ID Act, Division B of Public Law 109-13, the Secretary of State may issue to any Illinois resident a driver's certificate that shall:

(A) clearly state on its face that it may not be accepted by any federal agency for any federal identification or other official purpose ("official purpose" being defined under Section 201 of the federal REAL ID Act); and

(B) use a unique design or color indicator that shall visually distinguish these certificates from driver's licenses and permits issued under the Illinois Vehicle Code so as to alert federal agency and other law enforcement personnel that these certificates may not be accepted for any federal identification or other official purpose.

(2) Any applicant for a driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) must be at least 18 years of age and must:

(A) provide the Secretary with a valid individual tax identification number issued by the federal Internal Revenue Service or social security number issued by the federal Social Security Administration;

(B) provide a valid passport and any additional documents, as the Secretary may set forth by administrative rule, such that the passport and additional documents in combination shall include the following:

(ii) documentation showing the person's date of birth;

(iii) documentation showing the person's name and address of principal residence; provided that the Secretary shall not accept any foreign document, other than a valid official passport, for purposes of this subparagraph; and provided further that the Secretary shall verify, with the issuing agency, the issuance, validity, and completeness of each document presented by the applicant, to satisfy the requirements of this subdivision (b-2)(2)(B); and

The Secretary shall handle the surrender of these documents at the Secretary's discretion, provided that no applicant shall be subject to civil or criminal prosecution for the acquisition, possession, use, or distribution of these documents, and provided further that the Secretary shall destroy any relinquished documents within 24 hours of receipt and shall not maintain any records of those documents.

(3) The Secretary of State shall provide to the Illinois Department of Revenue all information, including the individual tax identification number, captured on the application. If the Illinois Department of Revenue determines that an individual to whom a driver's certificate was issued is not in compliance with any applicable tax laws administered by the Department of Revenue, the Department of Revenue shall request that the Secretary of State suspend or revoke the certificate.

(4) The bearer of a driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) shall be subject to any and all provisions of this Code and any and all implementing regulations issued by the Secretary of State to the same extent as any driver issued a driver's license, including but not limited to the mandatory insurance requirements and penalties set forth in Article VII of this Code, unless otherwise specified in this subsection (b-2). To the extent that any driver is required by law to have a valid Illinois driver's license in order to purchase insurance to comply with the mandatory insurance provisions of this Code, a driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) shall satisfy that requirement. Within 30 days of receiving a certificate, the driver shall provide proof of insurance to the Secretary of State; if the driver fails to provide that proof within 30 days, the Secretary is authorized to suspend the certificate until the driver provides that proof.

(5) A person denied a driver's certificate under this subsection (b-2) may seek review under the Administrative Review Law. This amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly does not affect the issuance of any commercial driver's license or school bus driver's permit under the Illinois Vehicle Code or any State identification card under the Illinois Identification Card Act. A driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) may not be used to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card and may not be used to obtain a driver's license in another state.

(6) The Secretary of State may, in his or her discretion, by rule or regulation, provide that an application for a driver's certificate under this subsection (b-2) may include a suitable photograph of the applicant in the form prescribed by the Secretary, and the Secretary of State may further provide that each driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) shall include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary of State may use a photograph process or system most suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of a driver's certificate issued under this subsection (b-2) and to prevent substitution of another photo thereon.

(b-3) Subsection (b-2) becomes inoperative 5 years after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly; however, any document issued under subsection (b-2) shall remain valid until the date set forth on the document by the Secretary of State.

(b-4) The Secretary of State may, in his discretion, by rule or regulation, provide that an application for a drivers license or permit may include a suitable photograph of the applicant in the form prescribed by the Secretary, and he may further provide that each drivers license shall include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary of State may utilize a photograph process or system most suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of a drivers license and to prevent substitution of another photo thereon.

(c) The application form shall include a notice to the applicant of the registration obligations of sex offenders under the Sex Offender Registration Act. The notice shall be provided in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act.

(d) Any male United States citizen or immigrant who applies for any permit or license authorized to be issued under this Act or for a renewal of any permit or license, and who is at least 18 years of age but less than 26 years of age, must be registered in compliance with the requirements of the federal Military Selective Service Act. The Secretary of State must forward in an electronic format the necessary personal information regarding the applicants identified in this subsection (d) to the Selective Service System. The applicant's signature on the application serves as an indication that the applicant either has already registered with the Selective Service System or that he is authorizing the Secretary to forward to the Selective Service System the necessary information for registration. The Secretary must notify the applicant at the time of application that his signature constitutes consent to registration with the Selective Service System, if he is not already registered.
