Correct Answer
D. Yes. The card satisfies the PIPS criteria (Photo, Identifying number, Physical description, Signature) required for a Group 2 identification document from a federally recognized tribal government.
AI Explanation
PIPS criteria for tribal government ID. An ID card from a federally recognized tribal government is an acceptable Group 2 identification document under Civil Code section 1185(b)(4). Group 2 IDs must satisfy the PIPS criteria: Photo, Identifying number, Physical description, and Signature. The tribal ID described — containing a photo, description, signature, and enrollment number — satisfies all four PIPS criteria and is therefore acceptable. No thumbprint is required solely because a tribal ID is used.
