BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A new designation is available for Louisiana driver’s licenses or identification cards.
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles said residents can now request to have a seizure indicator. This new designation is optional, and anyone who qualifies can have it added to their driver’s license.
“This new designation aims to promote health awareness and provide critical information to law enforcement and other first responders,” the agency said.
To have a seizure indicator added to driver’s licenses, a seizure disorder diagnosis from a qualified medical or mental health professional is required. It can be combined with the Needs Accommodation and Autism indicator.
All classes of driver’s licenses qualify for this addition. The indicator can’t be added to voter ID or handicap cards.
People can submit an application to have the seizure indicator added to their driver’s license. A licensed medical or mental health professional from the United States or territory must complete the form.
“If the certifying professional indicates that the applicant has not been seizure-free for six months, the OMV will require an additional neurological medical report from the applicant’s treating physician,” the OMV said.
