Tennessee has changed driver license and photo identification designs. The cards have a “fresh design” and improved security features, according to the Department of Safety and Homeland Security. They now prominently feature an image of the Tennessee Capitol building on top of the state’s Tri-Star flag. The new design also features waves and patterns printed in very fine lines that are not able to be scanned or easily reproduced, according to the department.
The new cards are made with a “sturdy poly-carbonate composition” and incorporate cutting edge printing techniques. This includes elaborate overlapping of data and graphics and laser engraved elements that will show if the document has been altered or is fraudulent. A machine-readable barcode with applicable class, endorsements, and restrictions are printed on the back of the card.
Those with valid driver licenses in Tennessee do not need to replace their current ID with one of the new design, according to the department. Previously issued driver licenses are valid until their expiration date listed. Tennesseans only need to receive a new card if theirs is expired or they need to change their address or name.
The new design will apply to all credentials issued by Department of Safety and Homeland Security including regular driver licenses, teen/graduated driver licenses, commercial driver licenses, motorcycle licenses, ID only licenses, REAL IDs and handgun carry permits.
