Richmond, Virginia – The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has recently released a brand new design for its driver’s licenses and identification cards, which promises to offer both beauty and security.
The new design boasts an image of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, Virginia’s official insect, and the American Dogwood, the state flower. These visually stunning elements, however, are not the only upgrades – they have been layered with the latest state-of-the-art security features to ensure the safety of every credential.
DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey stated, “The attractive design elements are actually layers of state-of-the-art security features. Virginians can count on their DMV to provide secure credentials that stand the test of time.” While certain elements, like the banner colors and card orientation, will remain the same, the addition of these new design elements is an exciting and much-welcomed change.
Anyone applying for a new license, ID card, REAL ID, or renewal or replacement will automatically receive the new design. For those still in possession of the previous design, there is no need to worry, as those cards will remain valid until their expiration date. Virginia residents can rest assured that the DMV is dedicated to providing the most secure and visually appealing credentials possible.
