This bill amends Sections 49-401B and 49-504 of the Idaho Code, focusing on the application process for vehicle registration and certificates of title. Key changes include the requirement for applicants to provide proof of identity in accordance with Section 49-306, Idaho Code, if they have not already done so. Additionally, the language has been updated to clarify that applications must be made "on" the appropriate form rather than "upon," and it specifies that social security numbers will not appear on registration certificates. The bill also emphasizes the importance of providing accurate physical domicile addresses for vehicle registration and outlines the responsibilities of the department in maintaining records and issuing titles.

Furthermore, the bill introduces technical corrections and clarifications regarding the information required in applications, such as the inclusion of the owner's true and full legal name, and the necessity for businesses to provide their employer tax identification number. It also establishes that the department may allow electronic submissions of required documents, which will be treated as original documents in legal proceedings. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2026.
