"California driver's licenses are getting yet another redesign with new security measures - but motorists don't have to race to their nearest DMV office to update theirs. Starting Wednesday, newly issued driver's license and identification cards will include additional features, including a first-in-the-nation digital signature, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The driver's license or ID in your wallet is still valid until the expiration date."
"Say goodbye to the gold miner, agricultural lands, sailboats and the shape of the Golden State shown on the backgrounds of existing driver's licenses. The new design includes California's redwoods, poppies and coastline. What hasn't changed is the REAL ID symbol, which is a golden bear with a star in the upper-right corner. The DMV has added a digital security signature to one of the two bar codes on the back of the cards."
Starting Wednesday, newly issued California driver's licenses and identification cards will feature an updated design and enhanced security measures, including a first-in-the-nation digital signature embedded in one of the two bar codes on the back. Existing licenses and IDs remain valid until their expiration date and do not need immediate replacement. The design replaces images like the gold miner and sailboats with redwoods, poppies and coastline while retaining the REAL ID golden bear with a star. The magnetic stripe from previous cards has been removed. Renewal fees remain $45 for driver's licenses and $39 for identification cards.
