To provide separate verification of identity, the applicant must provide documentation to establish identity, provided such documentation includes a photograph or other identifying information sufficient to establish identity (such as, name, age, sex, race, height, weight, eye color, or address) (see the chart below or Process Help, Section 19.3.5.3.5 Documentation of Identity Only). In addition, IM agencies may accept proof of identity from a federal agency or another state agency, including but not limited to a law enforcement, revenue, or corrections agency, if the agency has verified and certified the identity of the person. If the applicant does not have any documentation of identity and identity is not verified by another federal or state agency, they may submit an affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury, by a person other than the applicant who can reasonably attest to the applicant’s identity. Such affidavit must contain the applicant’s name and other identifying information establishing identity, as described above. The affidavit does not have to be notarized. The applicant may submit a Statement of Citizenship and/or Identity (F-10161) form or another affidavit.
