BISMARCK – The North Dakota Department of Transportation began issuing the newly designed driver’s license and photo ID cards last week in Bismarck.
“North Dakota residents are not required to get a new driver’s license,” said NDDOT Driver License Division Director Brad Schaffer. “Your current driver’s license is still good until it expires.”
The new card incorporates state-of-the-art technology designed to make it more difficult to counterfeit. North Dakota is the first state to have the “squircle” which is a square and circle that contains a dynamic look-through element. There is an ultraviolet response for the optically variable ghost portrait over the photo. It also features the North Dakota badlands and includes a sunrise ultraviolet image along with an updated state logo.
The initial rollout began in Bismarck, but the newly designed card will become available in other cities throughout the month.
