ROCKFORD HILLS, LOS SANTOS (WZL) – Smile for the camera! In an effort to modernize identification standards, H.R. 290 The State Identification Update Act, revolutionizes personal identification in San Andreas. This significant overhaul, now in effect, aims to improve security measures and streamline the authentication process across various licenses and cards.

Why the Change?

The primary goal behind this update is to bolster public safety and ease verification protocols. By incorporating photographic identification across official identification and licenses, the State of San Andreas is improving the reliability and accuracy of personal identification.

What Changes for You?

If you hold any of the following IDs or licenses:

Personal ID
Driver’s License
Gun License
Skipper’s License
Fish & Game License (Formerly Hunting License)
Shotgun License
SABA Card
Pilot’s License

Prepare for an update! These identification documents will now require a clear photograph of the holder, reflecting their general appearance. This means your ID’s and licenses will now include a photo of you, enhancing its security and confirming your identity more effectively.

The Transition Period

For those with non-photographic versions of their ID cards and licenses, there’s a 30-day grace period from the law’s enactment. This means you have until Friday, December 22, 2023 to visit the Los Santos City Hall in Rockford Hills, Occupation Courthouse, or Paleto Town Hall to replace them. During this time, your current IDs remain valid. However, it’s crucial to note that after this grace period ends, non-photographic identification will no longer serve as a valid form of state ID.
