Maryland launches free butterfly symbol on IDs to help identify people with hidden disabilities.
On October 1, 2025, Maryland launched a new optional butterfly symbol on driver’s licenses, ID cards, and moped permits to help identify individuals with hidden disabilities like developmental or intellectual conditions.
The symbol, inspired by a Marylander with high-functioning autism, aims to assist first responders and others in recognizing people who may need communication support or accommodations.
Available at no cost, the designation requires no documentation and can be added or removed online, via kiosks, or in person at any of the 24 MVA branches.
State leaders and advocates praised the move as a step toward greater inclusivity and safety.
