New License Tamper Proof

Georgia driver's licenses and ID cards will change this fall, as state officials add new features designed to combat document fraud.
New cards will feature ghost photos, a laser-engraved signature
over the primary photo to minimize alterations and a tamper
resistant coating placed over the card. The cards will get
machine-readable barcodes that can be used by banks, retailers and
other businesses to verify the information printed on the front.
All state customer service center locations will feature the new cards by November.
Previously issued Georgia licenses and IDs will remain valid
until the expiration date.
Gov. Sonny Perdue says the change will protect identities of
Georgia's citizens.
