9     Sec. 6-106. Application for license or instruction permit.
10     (a) Every application for any permit or license authorized

16 application.
17     (b) Every application shall state the legal name, social
18 security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and residence
19 address of the applicant; briefly describe the applicant; state
20 whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed as a
21 driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and
22 whether any such license has ever been cancelled, suspended,
23 revoked or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such
24 cancellation, suspension, revocation or refusal; shall include
25 an affirmation by the applicant that all information set forth
26 is true and correct; and shall bear the applicant's signature.
27 The application form may also require the statement of such

35 applying for a social security number. The Secretary of State

 

 

HB4269 - 35 - LRB093 03486 BDD 40425 b

1 shall, however, determine which religious orders or sects have
2 such bona fide religious convictions. The Secretary of State
3 may, in his discretion, by rule or regulation, provide that an
4 application for a drivers license or permit may include a
5 suitable photograph of the applicant in the form prescribed by
6 the Secretary, and he may further provide that each drivers
7 license shall include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary
8 of State may utilize a photograph process or system most
9 suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of a
10 drivers license and to prevent substitution of another photo
11 thereon.
12     (c) The application form shall include a notice to the
13 applicant of the registration obligations of sex offenders
14 under the Sex Offender Registration Act. The notice shall be
15 provided in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
16 State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender" has
17 the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
18 Registration Act.
19     (d) Any male United States citizen or immigrant who applies
20 for any permit or license authorized to be issued under this
21 Act or for a renewal of any permit or license, and who is at
22 least 18 years of age but less than 26 years of age, must be
23 registered in compliance with the requirements of the federal
24 Military Selective Service Act. The Secretary of State must
25 forward in an electronic format the necessary personal
26 information regarding the applicants identified in this
27 subsection (d) to the Selective Service System. The applicant's
28 signature on the application serves as an indication that the
29 applicant either has already registered with the Selective
30 Service System or that he is authorizing the Secretary to
31 forward to the Selective Service System the necessary
32 information for registration. The Secretary must notify the
33 applicant at the time of application that his signature
34 constitutes consent to registration with the Selective Service
35 System, if he is not already registered.
