I don't think so, but there will be some people from Pennsylvania that can give you a better answer.

I could not find any reference anywhere to the words "sex offender" being marked on the driver's license, not even on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation web site.

Only such states as Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee---the Bible Belt States----are ignorant enough to pass such ineffective and shaming laws as having a driver's license marked.

Thanks, My son asked me that question and I couldn't find anything that reference about a driver's license.

I don't think so either. My hubby has an ID, not a DL but there's nothing stamped on it

How about Florida?

Rew, I believe Kansas requires it as well, which really surprised me considering some of their other more lenient restrictions (no residency restrictions) that they have.

Kali is correct. It appears as if Kansas also has some sort of sex offender designation on the driver's license.

Florida also appears to have a sex offenders designation, but I think that it might be only for certain offenders and the designation is a small code---- a few numbers or letters in the corner of the license----and only law enforcement understands what it means. Some of the Florida posters can provide more info, as I am not sure how Florida handles its driver's licenses for sex offenders. Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken.

In Oklahoma, it was just a terrible mess. The words "sex offender" were plastered in three or four places across the face of the license and a registrant had to get it renewed every year. The only good part of the law was that it was only for "habitual" or "aggravated" offenders.

BTW, the drive's license in Oklahoma was the one point that the Supreme Court justices really zoned in on in the Starkey decision which made the extra AWA restrictions punitive. They really, really did not like the driver's license law for sex offenders in Oklahoma.

No is the answer for PA. There was/is nothing on mine.

A bill was introduced a few yrs ago here in MD to add a code on the dl. Thankfully, it didn't pass.

Well unfortunately, here in Louisiana, my son has it on his driver's license and I.D. He also has to renew every year.

my hub has some code number his lic so authorities know , not a stamped thing on it yet hoping never will happen ,. to me its humiliation punishment beyond registry :(tn lawyer stated it was not right for that proposal in tenn. they delayed it for another time.so far no stamped dr lic here but hub has abig ole card they gave him in case he has no dr lic on him . its really sad and ridiculous our loved ones have to deal with all this stuff . in your states that stamp them , maybe speak up to drivers lic place and justice dept tell them all about the etra humiliation they putting on your loved ones , the unprotection for you all . when everyone has to see it he shows drivers lic to /

Thank you everyone.

In TN I think it's just a number....boyfriends PO just said he had to call to get his number changed so that law enforcement knows...hopefully that's the extent of it for you guys!

Does Illinois have it stamped on their ID and or DL?

I did some research and found a research document that was written with the following information. Note that this paper was written in 2008, so it may not be completely accurate.

Also note that some states have the word "sex offender" or "offender" stamped in red letters across the face of the license, while some states only have a lettered code in one of the corners which only law enforcement can decipher.

If you want to read the entire document in its entirety, here is the link---

Here is the text regarding sex offenders and driver's licenses---------

""""Nine states--Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas--specifically require convicted sex offenders to obtain either a driver's license, an identification card, or a sex offender registration card issued through driver's license-related processes.

Further, five of these nine states- -Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi--also label the applicable driver's license, identification card, or registration card with an annotation that identifies the person as a sex offender.[Footnote 20]

Two other states, Kansas and West Virginia, also have an annotation requirement, although these states do not specifically require convicted sex offenders to obtain either a driver's license, an identification card, or a sex offender registration card.

Two of the seven "annotation" states, Kansas and Louisiana, provided us examples of their annotated driver's licenses and identification cards.""""

Hope this helps,

Good Golly, how did you EVER get through that document? It read like stereo instructions!! I couldn't pull up the PDF file that shows the states. Still don't know about Illinois, but I've got four years to figure it out.
