            a)         If a person wishes to obtain an Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Illinois Identification Card Act [15 ILCS 335/4(b)], the individual shall complete an application form provided by the Department.

b)         The Disabled Person Identification Card application shall include the person's legal name, address, social security number, gender, height, weight, hair color, eye color and date of birth.  The applicant's medical professional shall certify the type of disability that the person has as physical, developmental, visual, hearing or mental and the classification of the disability to be Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, or Class 2a as defined in Section 4(a) of the Illinois Identification Card Act.  The medical professional shall sign the application and also print or type his/her name, business address and business phone number.

c)         The application forms shall not be accepted by the Department unless all portions of the form are completely filled out. Failure to complete the application properly shall result in the applicant's request being denied.

d)         If an applicant for a Disabled Person Identification Card indicates on the application that the individual has a disability so severe that it precludes the applicant from obtaining an Illinois driver's license, and it is determined that the applicant has a valid Illinois driver's license, a Disabled Person Identification Card shall be issued. The case shall be forwarded by the facility to the Driver Analysis Division of the Department for review and possible cancellation of the driver's license pursuant to 92 Ill. Adm. Code 1040.80.
