Last scannedAug 24, 2026, 7:59 AM
In one sentence
This law updates Idaho rules to require specific identity numbers or written proof when people register vehicles or apply for vehicle titles.
What it does
- Requires applicants to list their driver's license number, ID card number, Social Security number, or individual taxpayer identification number on forms.
- Allows owners without these numbers to submit a written statement proving they do not have one instead of listing a number.
- Mandates that all vehicle registration and title applications include the owner's full legal name and proof of identity if not already provided.
- States that Social Security numbers collected on forms cannot appear on public certificates or be shared with others except under specific laws.
Who it affects
- Individuals registering vehicles in Idaho
- Businesses, trusts, and other entities applying for vehicle titles
- County assessors who process registration applications
- The Idaho Transportation Department
Limits and unknowns
- The text does not list the specific types of written documents accepted if a person lacks standard identification numbers.
- The bill summary and excerpt do not explain how this change affects people who already have registered vehicles from before July 1, 2026.
