The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has begun issuing licenses with enhanced security features.
DMV Director Mark Schröder said on the 10th that “DMV is issuing new licenses to new or renewed applicants with a focus on theft prevention.”
DMV, which will introduce a newly designed driver’s license for the first time in 9 years, has embossed photos and text so that authenticity can be read when touched with the naked eye and hand.
In addition, the exposure structure of the embedded chip and the New York State pattern were produced by laser printing in several layers, preventing theft from being stolen.
The newly security-enhanced license can also be used as ID at airports for domestic travel.
