The bearer is a member in good standing of the Dominium Aeternum Ministry, a self-governing ecclesiastical body exercising the right of self-determination affirmed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Articles 3, 4, 5, 33, 34, and 35, and protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (42 U.S.C. §2000bb), and 26 U.S.C. §508(c)(1)(A).
The ministry, like the Amish and other recognized faith communities, maintains internal governance, membership, education, records, and conveyance practices consistent with its doctrine and the right of self-determination.
Travel & Conveyance — The bearer is engaged in private, non-commercial travel and ministerial activity. Consistent with the long-standing legal distinction between the right to travel and the privilege of operating in commerce, the bearer is not, by virtue of private conveyance, engaged in ‘driving’ or ‘operating a motor vehicle’ as those terms are defined under commercial motor-carrier regulation.
