A.

To obtain a municipal identification card, a resident shall complete an application, under penalty of perjury, requiring proof of identity and proof of residence within the City.

Notwithstanding the above, if the applicant is 13 years of age or younger, he or she, as an alternative, may present a certified copy of a U.S. or foreign birth certificate to establish identity under this subsection; or

b.

Two of the following documents, provided that at least one form of identification shall display the applicant's photograph and date of birth: a national identification card with photo, name, address, date of birth, and expiration date; a foreign driver's license; a U.S. or foreign military identification card; a current visa issued by a government agency; a U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) authorization letter; an identification card issued by a California educational institution, including elementary, middle, secondary, and post-secondary schools; a certified copy of a U.S. or foreign birth certificate; a court order issued by a state or federal court to verify a person's identity; or a Social Security card. Notwithstanding the above, where the applicant is aged 13 or under, he or she may in the alternative present an official medical record and/or official school record to establish identity under this subsection, provided that at least one of the two forms of identification presented shall display the applicant's date of birth.

2.

Proof of Residency.

a.

In order to establish residency, each applicant must present one of the following items, provided that the item includes both the applicant's name and a residential address located within the City: a utility bill dated within the last 30 days; a written verification issued by a homeless shelter that receives City funding confirming at least 15 days residency within the last 30 days; written verification issued by a hospital health clinic, or social services agency that receives City funding, confirming at least 15 days residency within the last 30 days; a local property tax statement or mortgage payment receipt dated within the last 30 days; a bank account statement dated within the last 30 days; proof of a minor currently enrolled in a City school; an employment pay stub dated within the last 30 days; a written ruling, order or notice from the Oakland Rent Adjustment Board dated within the last 30 days; a jury summons or court order issued by a state or federal court dated within the last 30 days; a federal or state income tax or refund statement dated within the last 30 days; or an insurance bill (homeowner's, renter's, health, life or automobile insurance) dated within the last 30 days. If a certified copy of a marriage certificate is presented at the time of application, an applicant may prove residency using documents bearing the name of his or her spouse.

b.

The Program Administrator may by regulation provide that if an applicant is 13 years of age or younger, cannot produce any of the items set forth in this subsection A.2. to prove residency, a parent or legal guardian may verify the applicant's residency, provided that the parent or guardian himself or herself would be eligible for a municipal identification card.

3.

The Program Administrator may by regulation provide for acceptance of additional forms of proof of identity and/or proof of residency, provided that the Program Administrator determines that such forms of proof are:

a.

Issued by a governmental entity;

b.

Issued by an entity that takes reasonable steps to verify the identity and/or residency of the individual to whom the item is issued; or

c.

Of a type that is normally accepted as proof of identity and/or proof of residency in the ordinary course of business.

An application submitted on behalf of a minor must be completed by such minor's parent or legal guardian.

The City shall keep confidential to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, the name and other identifying information of persons applying for and receiving municipal identification cards. The City shall cause the applications to be produced in a form that allows applicants to state their privacy preferences. The City shall not retain records of applicants' residential addresses.
