WISCONSIN — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles is rolling out new driver licenses and identification cards with updated security features.

The new design elements will make the cards more resistant to fraud, according to the DMV.

“The first thing you notice is Wisconsin’s cards are even more attractive and the images celebrate the state. But built within the beautiful images and manufacturing process are layers of security features designed to protect card users and businesses who rely on their validity,” DMV Administrator Kristina Boardman said.

The new security features include the following:

The features will be available for REAL ID cards and regular ID cards. There will be no changes to the cost of the cards for Wisconsinites.

“Wisconsin DMV continues to stay on the leading edge of technology by incorporating the next generation of updated security features into our driver licenses and ID cards,” WisDOT Secretary Craig Thompson said. “Our residents can be proud of the modernized new cards and also the efforts DMV takes to secure their credentials.”

The current cards in circulation will be valid until their respective expiration dates. Cards with the new features will be issued when IDs are renewed or replaced, or if someone is getting their first ID, the new cards will be available as early as June 5. Wisconsinites are not required to get new cards until their current IDs expire; however, those wishing to do so can order one, here.
