PennDOT says the cards look different and have additional enhanced security features that improve fraud prevention and protect from counterfeiting and alteration.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Newly designed driver licenses will soon be available for Pennsylvania drivers, PennDOT announced Monday.
The licenses and identification cards are part of the department’s ongoing security enhancements.
The new products will first be available at the Summerdale Driver License Center in Enola, Cumberland County beginning Monday.
Then by mid-November, all driver and photo centers across the state will transition to the new licenses.
PennDOT says the new licenses will be phased in over the next four-year renewal cycle and will replace existing ones. Both current and new card designs will be in circulation during the transition period.
“The update is an important component of PennDOT’s ongoing work to enhance and protect the integrity of the driver license and identification card issuance process,” PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian said in a press release.
The license looks slightly different at first glance from the previous version with some driver information rearranged on the card. The corner ghost portrait is now in a circle.
