Some residents of the Village of Warwick are unable to obtain
photo identification cards due to a variety of circumstances. It would
serve the public welfare for the Village to make local residency cards
available to Village residents to assist them in interacting with
services and venues which require photo identification. At the same
time, the Village is not in a position to conduct investigations sufficient
to guarantee the identity of everyone who might apply for a local
residency card. Therefore, the local residency cards issued under
the Village's Local Residency Card Program shall contain a suitable
disclaimer of legal responsibility on the part of the Village for
verifying identification of cardholders.
The Village shall comply with all applicable laws regarding
municipal record retention by maintaining, for each local residency
card issued, the completed application form. Except for the application
form, the Village Clerk shall not retain originals or copies of any
documents provided by applicants to verify residency in the Village
of Warwick.
[Amended 1-21-2020 by L.L. No. 2-2020]
In providing local residency cards, the Village of Warwick is
relying wholly and exclusively upon information regarding identification
and residency provided by applicants. The Village of Warwick does
not act as a guarantor or warrantor of the veracity of such information.
In recognition of this, each local residency card shall include a
disclaimer reading: "The Village of Warwick does not act as a guarantor
or warrantor of the identity of the cardholder and is relying wholly
and exclusively upon information provided by the applicant regarding
identity and residency."
There shall be no renewal of local residency cards. Upon expiration
of a local residency card, it shall be necessary for the cardholder
to apply for a new card.
The Village Board shall set by resolution such application fees
for local residency cards as it may find appropriate, and such fees
shall be listed in the Village's Schedule of Fees. Such fees shall
be nonrefundable.
