     6  permit is expired, suspended, revoked or surrendered, or  such  person's
     7  authorized  representative, may make application to the commissioner for
     8  the issuance of an identification card. The  commissioner  shall  ensure

    22  ble identification card.   In  addition,  the  commissioner  also  shall
    23  require  that an applicant for an identification card or renewal thereof

    25  provide  space  so  that  an  applicant may request a notation upon such
    26  identification card that he or she is a veteran  of  the  United  States
    27  armed forces.
