RCNY § 6-02
(a)The IDNYC Card will display the cardholder's photograph, name, date of birth, an expiration date, signature, eye color, height, identification number, and, except as provided in this section, a street address located within New York City. The card will also, at the cardholder's option, display the cardholder's self-designated gender, preferred language, veteran status and such additional information as HRA may in the future display. Additionally, for a cardholder under 14 years of age, the cardholder's designated emergency contact information will appear on the card. For a cardholder 14 years of age or older, the cardholder's designated emergency contact information may appear on the card at the cardholder's option. Cards issued pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-04(e) will also display the name of the cardholder's school.
(b)The IDNYC Card will not display a home address in the following circumstances: (1) Where the applicant is 10 - 13 years old, the applicant's caretaker may choose to omit the address from the card.
(2)Where an applicant is an individual who lacks a stable residence or is a survivor of domestic violence and provides evidence of residency pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-06(c)(2), the IDNYC Card will display either no address at all or a "care of" address, as described in that section.
(3)Where an applicant resides in a residential care program that is operated or overseen by HRA's Emergency Intervention Services for the purpose of providing shelter, services and care to survivors of domestic violence and presents a Letter from a Residential Care Program as described in the table set forth in 68 RCNY § 6-06(c)(2), the IDNYC Card will display either a P.O. Box associated with the applicable program or no address at all, depending on the applicant's preference.
(4)Where an applicant provides evidence that they participate in the New York State Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) established by New York Executive Law § 108 for victims of domestic violence, the IDNYC Card will display either a P.O. Box associated with the applicable program or no address at all, depending on the applicant's preference. An applicant who participates in the ACP must still establish residency under this chapter.
(5)Where an applicant is a college or university student, employee or other person who resides in housing affiliated with a school and receives mail at a central school-based location different from where the applicant resides, the IDNYC card will display the address where the applicant receives mail and the name of their school provided the applicant submits a Letter from a College or University Administrator as described in the table set forth in 68 RCNY § 6-06(c)(1).
(6)IDNYC Cards issued pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-04(e) will not display a home address. (Amended City Record 3/24/2016, eff. 4/23/2016; amended City Record 7/2/2018, eff. 8/1/2018; amended City Record 9/20/2019, eff. 10/21/2019 & 12/2/2019)
