New License Format<\/p>\n

Effective this week, Arizona drivers licenses will have a new look. Ours don’t expire until 2015, but we can expect to get this format when we renew. I like the fact that the word “VETERAN,” if appropriate, is prominently displayed on the face of the license.<\/p>\n

Effective this week, Arizona has a new driver\u2019s license that our bosses at the Arizona Department of Transportation say will offer better protection against identity theft.<\/p>\n

Among the most notable changes: a new font for the word \u201cArizona\u201d at the top of the license; a larger portrait, along with a duplicated \u201cghost\u201d portrait; an Arizona-shaped laser perforation; and a new background image.<\/p>\n

On the latter, gone is the Grand Canyon panorama that defined Arizona\u2019s previous driver\u2019s license<\/a>. In its place is a collage of unique Arizona features, such as geologic formations, a saguaro and a ringtail (the state mammal). The image employs a technique called Guilloch\u00e9 innovative symmetry; an ADOT release says the technique consists of \u201cintricate, repetitive patterns that are interwoven to guard against counterfeiting, altering or other fraudulent use, making for a more secure credential.\u201d<\/p>\n
