If the licensee is 21 years of age or older, the longer edges of the rectangle serve as the top and bottom of the license; or

(b)

If the licensee is under 21 years of age, the shorter edges of the rectangle serve as the top and bottom of the license.

The Department may issue a temporary driver’s license without a photograph of the licensee if the licensee is temporarily absent from this State and requests the renewal of, the issuance of a duplicate of, or a change in the information on, his or her driver’s license. If the licensee returns to this State for 14 continuous days or more, the licensee shall, within 24 days after the date of return, surrender the temporary license and obtain a license which bears his or her photograph in accordance with subsection 1. A licensee charged with violating the provisions of this subsection may not be convicted if the licensee surrenders the temporary license, obtains a license which bears his or her photograph in accordance with subsection 1 and produces that license in court or in the office of the arresting officer.

The Department shall:

(a)

Establish a uniform procedure for the production of drivers’ licenses, applicable to renewal as well as to original licenses.

(b)

Except as otherwise provided in NRS 483.417 and 483.825, by regulation, increase the fees provided in NRS 483.410, 483.820 and 483.910 as necessary to cover the actual cost of production of photographs for drivers’ licenses and identification cards.
