Arkansas Rolls Out New Driver’s License Design
Arkansas residents can look forward to a new and improved driver’s license design, set to roll out in the coming months. The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) recently unveiled the state’s new driver’s license design, featuring enhanced security features and a fresh, modern look.
The new design showcases the natural beauty of Arkansas, with images of the state’s iconic landscapes and landmarks. The background of the driver’s license features a panoramic view of the Ozark Mountains, highlighting the state’s rugged beauty and outdoor attractions. In addition, the license includes images of the state capitol building in Little Rock, the Buffalo National River, and the Hot Springs National Park.
One of the key features of the new driver’s license design is the inclusion of enhanced security features to protect against fraud and counterfeiting. The license includes a holographic overlay that changes color when tilted, making it difficult to replicate. In addition, the license features microtext printing and a laser-engraved ghost image of the cardholder’s photo, adding an extra layer of security.
“We are excited to introduce this new driver’s license design to the residents of Arkansas,” said DFA Director Larry Walther. “Not only does the new design showcase the natural beauty of our state, but it also incorporates state-of-the-art security features to protect against fraud and identity theft.”
The rollout of the new driver’s license design comes as part of a larger effort by the DFA to modernize the state’s driver’s license and identification card program. In addition to the new design, the DFA has also implemented new technology to streamline the application process and reduce wait times at driver’s license offices.
“We are constantly looking for ways to improve our services and enhance the customer experience,” said Walther. “By implementing new technology and upgrading our security features, we are able to provide residents with a more efficient and secure driver’s license and identification card program.”
Residents can expect to receive the new driver’s license design when they renew their license or apply for a new one. The cost of the new license remains the same as the previous design, with fees ranging from $40 to $100 depending on the length of validity and type of license.
In addition to the new design, the DFA has also introduced a mobile driver’s license option, allowing residents to access a digital version of their license on their smartphone. The mobile driver’s license provides a convenient and secure way to access identification information, reducing the need to carry a physical license.
“We understand that technology is constantly evolving, and we want to provide residents with innovative solutions to meet their needs,” said Walther. “The mobile driver’s license option offers a convenient and secure way to access identification information, providing an added layer of convenience for our residents.”
Overall, the rollout of the new driver’s license design represents a significant step forward for the state of Arkansas in modernizing its driver’s license and identification card program. With enhanced security features, a fresh, modern design, and improved technology, residents can look forward to a more efficient and secure driver’s license experience.
For more information on the new driver’s license design, residents are encouraged to visit the DFA website or contact their local driver’s license office. The DFA will continue to provide updates and information on the rollout of the new design in the coming months, as well as any additional changes or enhancements to the state’s driver’s license program.
