Hello everyone - I need to get my dad a non-driver CT issued ID. He has dementia and is living long-term at a nursing home. My mom is his POA. Since he is unable to go to the DMV office, can my mom go in his absence? Thank you! Dave
My late husbands drivers license expired in 2012, and I never got him a state ID as all of his doctors said that they would honor an expired license, and they did. Never an issue. Now I am in NC, and don't know if CT is any different, but you can ask his doctors. And since your dad's already in a nursing facility with dementia, I'm not sure why he would need any kind of a current ID anyway.
Thank you funkygrandma59. A little bit of backstory that I meant to mention. We are applying for Medicaid (to help pay the $22k per month it will cost to keep my dad in a nursing home) and one of the requirements is his Social Security card. unfortunately, he lost his original card years ago. So we are working on getting a replacement SS card, and to do that we need a valid, current form of ID. His drivers license has now been expired for over 3 years, so now we need to apply for a non-drivers ID, which would require via DMV. And obviously my dad is unable to be there in person to get this ID. It’s tricky situation, and it all seems so unnecessarily difficult. My mom has POA over my dad, so hoping that we can apply for an ID with that POA paperwork in hand without having my dad needing to be present.
This is a question for the CT DMV, I am afraid. Unless (and hopefully) someone lives in CT and has done this. Wish you good luck. When you find out do let us know and we can pass on the info. I did find this online, so I would give them a call: "Drivers age 65 and older must renew in person every two years; those younger need to renew every six years. Individuals with a major medical condition may submit a request for license renewal by mail; they must first contact the DMV at 860-263-5148 and ask for a review of their situation. Vision test:Required if a physician or DMV personnel conside..."
There should be an email of phone number. Contact the handicap division or stop by the Weathersfield office. This office has the most knowlegable staff. They might be able to issue an ID. I moved from CT and took my mom from MA to SC. I could not reniew my mom's ID because of an immigration glitch so I could not get thr SS card replaced. However this plan might work: it was easy to get mom a handicap placard by bringing the doctors paperwork. I then submitted an electronic photo. The placard with photo was her only state issued ID. The rest of her documentation was her address from her mail
If he happens to have a passport or a military ID, either of those would serve in place of a DMV ID card. A passport is the gold standard of ID cards, and I've never known of anyplace that would turn it down.
In Ohio the resident can get an ID with the DMV coming to the facility. A form needs to be filled out, along with a signed doctor's note,. These are mailed to the DMV office. If approved, reps from the DMV will go to the facility, take the picture, and issue the temp paper information, until the physical card is mailed.

At least gives you a number to call.
Best wishes.
Maybe your state has a similar service?
