TUCSON, Ariz. — If you're due for a new Arizona driver license or identification soon, your ID card will sport a new design, including a major change to your photo.
The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division is unveiling a completely new license look in March which showcases the state's unique biodiversity: a ponderosa pine, ringtail cat and, of course, saguaro. The update isn't just about looks. Updated security features are intended to undermine counterfeited cards, including a raised textured surface, laser engraving and a"security lens feature," an images that changes when viewed at different angles.
Locals have long mused on the state's long license expiration dates. If yours doesn't expire for a few years—or decades—there's no need to apply for a new card. All existing licenses will remain valid until they do expire, or until a new photo is required.The MVD can process license renewals online at azmvdnow.gov.Anne Simmons is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.
