Delaware Launches New More Secure Drivers Licenses
The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles has announced that it will be releasing a new license that promises more security for drivers in the state. The new license will include features such as the display of Legislative Hall boldly displayed on the front of the license, a newly designed federally compliant gold star, and other images including the image of a blue hen at the back of the ID card.
Delaware DMV put in place measures to comply with identification standards set by the federal government. These measures include reversing customer flow to permit driver ID card photos to be taken first, changing the security features and appearance of the ID card, and comparing drivers’ license ID cards to the facial recognition database. Authorities have stated that ID cards are made in very secure card production places. ..
The new driver’s license is an opportunity for drivers to have their documentation evaluated again. Existing customers will be able to present their original documents, while new users will be required to provide all important documentation for due process. ..
If you do not have the federally recognized ID card, you can obtain a non-compliant license. The difference between a non-compliant license and the standard license is the gold star at the top right corner. With the non-compliant card, there is the inscription, “Not for federal identification” on the upper right margin. The effort to meet federal standards creates an avenue for locals of Delaware to book domestic flights with their drivers’ licenses and use them for other purposes including entering federal buildings within Delaware. An alternate to do things of this sort locally will require the attainment of a U.S passport to use local flights and also enter federal buildings that are if you don’t have the federally recognized ID card.
