Except when otherwise required by law, where the city accepts presentation of a state-issued driver’s license or identification card as adequate evidence of identity, presentation of a photo identity document issued by the person’s nation of origin, such as a driver’s license, passport or matricula consular, which is a consulate-issued document, will be accepted and will not subject the person to a higher level of scrutiny or different treatment than if the person had provided a Washington State driver’s license or identification card. This provision shall not apply to the Bellingham police department’s enforcement of traffic laws, including RCW Title 46 and applicable Bellingham Municipal Code provisions, which require the driver of a vehicle to possess a valid driver’s license. However, a request for translation of such a photo identity document to English shall not be deemed as inconsistent with any provision of this chapter. [Ord. 2017-02-008 § 2].
