Starting tomorrow, September 30, the state will be issuing a new design for Driver License and ID Cards. Please follow the link to FLHSMV to look over all the new changes.
Beginning tomorrow, newly designed Florida driver licenses and identification cards will begin rolling out at service centers across the state!
The new credential remains one of the most secure over the counter identification options available today and proudly pays homage to Florida’s history with design features, including:
-An image of Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fortress in the continental United States, located in St. Augustine;
-The Florida orange is cleverly integrated as the “o” in “Florida”;
-On the back, a tribute to Florida’s Space Coast showing the Discovery Space Shuttle; and
-A Florida alligator incorporated into the REAL ID star in the top right corner of call cards.
Florida residents are not required to replace their existing driver license or identification card. All valid credentials will remain in circulation and be phased out over time.
