 In
the Winter of 2005, Alabama will begin issuing newly designed
driver licenses and identification cards. Technological advances
make these the most secure cards Alabama has ever issued.
This technology includes a 2-D barcode, magnetic stripe, digitized
portrait image, signature and various security features. Alabama’s
new card design includes the state capital and state seal.
The
portrait and signature are both digital and stored in a
permanent database for easy retrieval
in order to verify identification.
The “Under
18/21” driver licenses and identification cards are
now issued in a new vertical format that is immediately
recognizable. Under 18/21 cards display the words “UNDER
18 UNTIL” and/or “UNDER 21 UNTIL” followed
by the date the cardholder will turn 18 or 21 in bold red
text. This text is positioned vertically next to the portrait.
