§ 6-10 Expiration and Renewal.

RCNY § 6-10

(a)IDNYC Cards issued after the effective date of this rule will expire five years from the date of application approval, except that cards issued pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-04(e) will expire on the date that the cardholder is expected to graduate from middle school, and cards issued to any other individuals under 16 years of age will expire two years from date of application approval. IDNYC Cards issued prior to the effective date of this rule will be valid until the expiration date that appears on the face of the card unless invalidated pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-12.

(b)Renewal cards will be available to individuals who have previously been issued an IDNYC card that will expire in less than 60 days, or such other longer timeframe that HRA may designate in the future, or that expired less than six months ago, or such other longer timeframe that IDNYC may designate in the future, and who submit a renewal application on or after December 2, 2019 in a format and in a manner established by the Commissioner. In most instances, cardholders seeking renewal of their card will not be required to re-establish their identity pursuant to the provisions of 68 RCNY §§ 6-04 and 6-05 of this title, but if they are seeking to update their name or address must meet the requirements of subdivision (b) or (c) of 68 RCNY § 6-08, as applicable. However, IDNYC reserves the right to have cardholders re-establish their identity pursuant to 68 RCNY § 6-04 or 6-05 if the program cannot confirm by other means that the individual seeking renewal is the individual to whom the card was issued.
