Sheriff’s Office’s in Idaho are responsible for the issuing of Idaho Driver’s Licenses, ID Cards, and Concealed Weapons Permits (CWP). Deputies assigned to the Driver’s License Division work with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to verify a person’s identity, facilitate testing, and make sure all requirements are met for a person to receive a valid Idaho Driver’s License or ID. This team also processes applications for CWP cards to verify background and necessary training required by Idaho Law before a permit is issued. Additionally, this team handles processing of persons required under Idaho Law to register as a Sex Offender. The Driver’s License Team is the only division in the Sheriff’s Office who gets to meet and assist almost all Bonneville County residents.
