Officials at the Department of Revenue say the new design and issuance process---they will be printed from one central facility and mailed out-- will enhance security and help reduce the risk of identity theft and other types of fraud.

Under-21 drivers licenses will be vertically oriented, and all cards will also make it easier to determine if the carrier is an organ donor.
