identification card. Upon application, the applicant shall supply a

 

photographic identity document, a birth certificate or other

 

nonphotographic identity document, and other sufficient documents

 

as the secretary of state may require to verify the identity and

personal identification card is not a citizen of the United States,

 


the applicant shall supply a photographic identity document and

 

other sufficient documents to verify the identity of the applicant

 

and the applicant's legal presence in the United States under

 

subsection (5). The documents required under this subsection shall

 

must include the applicant's full legal name, date of birth,

 

address, and residency and demonstrate that the applicant is a

 

citizen of the United States or is legally present in the United

 

States. If the applicant's full legal name differs from the name of

 

the applicant that appears on a document presented under this

 

subsection, the applicant shall present documents to verify his or

 

her current full legal name. An application for a state personal

 

identification card shall must be made in a manner prescribed by

 

the secretary of state and shall must contain the applicant's full

 

legal name, date of birth, residence address, height, sex, eye

 

color, signature, intent to be an organ donor, other information

 

required or permitted on the official state personal identification

 

card and, only to the extent to comply with federal law, the

address different from his or her residence address. For automatic

 

voter registration purposes under section 493a of the Michigan

obtaining a social security Social Security number.

 

     (9) The secretary of state, with the approval of the state

 

administrative board created under 1921 PA 2, MCL 17.1 to 17.3, may
