Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of Section 8 of this Act, any identification card renewed under this subsection shall be valid for 5 years after the expiration date of the identification card as originally issued under Section 5 of this Act. The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may provide that applications for the one-time renewal under this subsection (b) may be made by telephone, mail, or the Internet, subject to any eligibility criteria and other requirements that the Secretary of State deems appropriate.
