that reflects any change of the cardholder's name by furnishing	253
suitable proof of the change to the registrar or a deputy	254
registrar and surrendering the cardholder's existing card.	255

replacement identification card, the cardholder shall pay a fee of	257

duplicate, replacement, or driver's or commercial driver's	279
license.	280

No agent of the state or its political subdivisions shall	281
condition the granting of any benefit, service, right, or	282
privilege upon the possession by any person of an identification	283
card. Nothing in this section shall preclude any publicly	284
operated or franchised transit system from using an identification	285
card for the purpose of granting benefits or services of the	286
system.	287

No person shall be required to apply for, carry, or possess	288
an identification card.	289

(C) Except in regard to an identification card issued to a	290
person who applies no more than thirty days before the applicant's	291
twenty-first birthday, neither the registrar nor any deputy	292
registrar shall issue an identification card to a person under	293
twenty-one years of age that does not have the characteristics	294
