(b) The identification holder's date of birth; and

(2) If the identification has an expiration date, it cannot be used to verify age after the expiration date.
(3) Acceptable forms of identification include:

(c) A passport, passport card, or NEXUS card;
(d) A Merchant Marine identification card issued by the United States Coast Guard; or
(e) An enrollment card issued by the governing authority of a federally recognized Indian tribe , if the enrollment card incorporates reasonable security features sufficient to deter counterfeiting, which may include features similar to those used by the department of licensing for standard Washington driver's licenses.

(A) A letter requesting approval and describing the security features of the enrollment card;
(B) A physical sample of an enrollment card; and
(C) For tribes located outside of Washington, a contact phone number where enforcement officers may call at any time to verify the validity of the enrollment card.
