(i) a U.S. or foreign passport;

(ii) a U.S. state driver’s license;

(iii) a U.S. state identification card;

(iv) a U.S. permanent resident card;

(v) a consular identification card;

(vi) a photo identification card with name, address, date of birth, and expiration date issued by another country to its citizens or nationals as an alternative to a passport for re-entry to the issuing country;

(vii) a certified copy of U.S. or foreign birth certificate;

(viii) a Social Security card;

(ix) a national identification card with photo, name, address, date of birth, and expiration date;

(x) a foreign driver’s license;

(xi) a U.S. or foreign military identification card;

(xii) a current visa issued by a government agency;

The administering agency may by rule determine the weight to be given to each type of document provided in this paragraph, and require that an applicant produce more than one document to establish identity.
