6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 3 mixed.
The law creates a program to issue free photo IDs to Nevada residents experiencing homelessness. To qualify, you must have lived in Nevada for at least 6 months, be age 10 or older, and not hold any valid driver’s license or state ID. You must sign a sworn statement that you are experiencing homelessness and have no other state ID. You must show original or certified documents to prove your full legal name and age, or the card will state that these were not verified. The card looks like a DMV ID but is clearly different and does not allow you to drive.
DHHS may accept gifts, grants, and donations to run the program, and the money carries forward to the next year. Agencies may adopt rules and do prep work now. All other parts of this law take effect January 1, 2026.
DHHS cannot issue or renew this ID for registered sex offenders or people convicted of crimes against children until it gets proof of compliance with chapter 179D. If not in compliance, DHHS does not issue or renew and tells the person to contact the Central Repository. For these offenders, any DHHS ID expires on the first anniversary of the birthday nearest the issue or renewal date. The Central Repository shares compliance information with DHHS as quickly as possible.
It is a misdemeanor to forge, alter, or knowingly possess a forged DHHS ID. It is also a misdemeanor to refuse to surrender a card when ordered, lend your card, use another person’s card, or keep someone else’s card more than 10 days.
Your DHHS ID stays valid until it expires, unless your information changes or you get a driver’s license or another state ID. It stays valid even if you are no longer homeless, but you must surrender it if you get another license or ID. The Department sets the expiration date, not later than the eighth anniversary of the birthday nearest the issue or renewal date. You may renew any time before it expires and get a free name change on request with proper documents. If you lose the card, you can get a duplicate; if you later find the original, you must return it. Local governments may accept this card to prove who you are, but it does not by itself grant benefits.
Personal information in DHHS ID applications and files is confidential and not a public record. Government must redact confidential parts and provide records in electronic form when requested, unless the record is not electronic or the confidential parts cannot be removed. These public‑records updates take effect January 1, 2026.
