(a) Any person having a valid identification card which expires on his or her 21st birthday, or which expires 3 months after his or her 21st birthday, may not apply for renewal of his or her existing identification card. A subsequent application filed by persons under this subsection, on or after their 21st birthday, shall be considered an application for a new card under Section 5 of this Act.

(b) Any person having a valid identification card, except those under subsection (a), may apply for a one-time renewal, in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of State, within 30 days after the expiration of the identification card. A subsequent application filed by that person shall be considered an application for a new card under Section 5 of this Act. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of Section 8 of this Act, any identification card renewed under this subsection shall be valid for 5 years after the expiration date of the identification card as originally issued under Section 5 of this Act. The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may provide that applications for the one-time renewal under this subsection (b) may be made by telephone, mail, or the Internet, subject to any eligibility criteria and other requirements that the Secretary of State deems appropriate.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, a person convicted of a sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act may not renew his or her Illinois Identification Card or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card by telephone, mail, or the Internet.
