NY Application for Non-Driver ID

Soon I will be in the US again and gonna have plans to go to the NY DMV and apply for a Non-Driver ID. I will be on ESTA. What I read here, it is quite easy and if you go with a standard, then you don't even need proof of address. Anyway there is also the option to go for REAL ID with proof of address. What I found is following:

What does "TEMPORARY VISITOR" mean?

A Temporary Visitor is defined as anyone who is not immigrating to or not permanently residing (living) in the United States. These visitors have US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documentation that supports their legal status in this country.

If you have DHS documents that identify you as a Temporary Visitor and have a REAL ID; your New York State driver license, permit or non-driver ID card will have:

"TEMPORARY VISITOR" on it
Your DHS document expiration date

Please note that your DMV document does not expire on the Temporary Visitor expiration date, nor will your privilege to drive in New York.

It just says temporary visitor on the REAL ID thing, not for the standard. Does someone have a standard Non-Driver ID and can confirm it also has temporary visitor flag?
