New Tennessee driver license harder to fake

Tennessee will begin issuing driver licenses with a new design, aimed at making them harder to counterfeit.
Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons said the design will help combat document fraud and protect against identity theft.
There is a new holographic design and a bar code.
All driver license examining stations will issue them within six weeks.
The department emphasized current licenses are valid until their expiration dates and drivers don’t need to get new licenses before that. Fees for licenses and identification cards won’t change.
The department issues about 1.5 million driver licenses and identification cards each year.
