Indiana would color certain licenses, permits, and ID cards differently

The bureau would use a distinct background color on licenses, permits, and ID cards issued to noncitizens with lawful status or people not registered to vote. This applies to driver's licenses, learner's permits, and identification cards issued by the bureau after December 31, 2026, to noncitizens with lawful status as defined by state law or people not registered to vote when the credential is issued. The color rule applies to credentials issued after December 31, 2026.

The bureau would have to notify a person that they are eligible for a new credential. This applies to someone previously issued a credential with a distinct background color under the bill who later completes an online voter registration. The bureau would have to send the notice within 30 days after receiving the completed online registration.
