The Department of Public Safety shall, upon payment of the required fee, issue to every applicant qualifying therefor a Class A, B, C or D license or identification card as applied for, which license or card shall bear thereon a distinguishing number assigned to the licensee or cardholder, date of issuance and date of expiration of the license or card, the full name, signature, date of birth, mailing address, sex, and a color photograph of the licensee or cardholder. The Department may cancel the distinguishing number, when that distinguishing number is another person's Social Security number, assign a new distinguishing number, and issue a new license or identification card without charge to the licensee or cardholder. The Department may promulgate rules for inclusion of the height and a brief description of the licensee or cardholder on the face of the card or license, and for the provision of a small decal for attachment to the card or license, identifying the licensee or cardholder as deaf or hearing impaired. The Department of Public Safety may authorize all motor license agents to accept applications for the license or card immediately upon payment of the required fee in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Department of Public Safety. The Department of Public Safety shall develop an alternative procedure whereby an individual applying for a new or renewal Class D license who satisfactorily demonstrates to the Department the inability to appear personally to be photographed, shall be issued a license or card bearing the words "Valid Without Photo"; provided, however, only persons with legitimate religious objection to being photographed may be issued a new or renewal Class A, B or C license without a photograph and bearing the words "Valid Without Photo".
