Utah’s Invisible Condition Alert Program (Utah Code § 58-1-604):
Utah’s Invisible Condition Alert Program is a voluntary program that allows a person with a defined “invisible condition” to have a symbol placed on their driver's license or ID card and register the invisible condition into law enforcement's record management or computer-aided dispatch system.
The Invisible Condition Alert Program is designed to promptly notify first responders about a person's invisible condition that may directly impact the person's ability to communicate. As a healthcare professional practicing in Utah, I am required to make informational resources about Utah's Invisible Condition Alert Program available to patients.
How it Works: A patient with a qualifying invisible condition who wishes to participate in the program must make the request and consent to the release of their medical information via signature on the Driver's License Division (DLD) invisible condition request form and/or the Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) statement of invisible condition. As your mental health therapist, I can then certify via signature that you have the listed condition.
