SAFE SECURE CONVENIENTModified credentials will begin to be issued in select offices in the coming weeks. After August 2020, this will be the only card design issued in Florida.
Individuals are not required to replace their current driver license or ID card during this time, unless their current credential has reached its expiration or a required change is needed, such as a name or address change. Previous driver license and ID cards will still be in use alongside the new credential until replaced or phased out.
Florida’s modified credential incorporates additional ultraviolet (UV) features that will increase security and reduce the risk of fraud. The UV design is unique to Florida and incorporates the “FL” and Florida map.
The enhanced security features ensures Floridians continue to receive the most secure over-the-counter driver license and ID card on the market today.
