HELENA – The Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) last week unveiled a redesigned and more secure driver license and identification card featuring elements to help reduce driver license
fraud and identity theft, making it one of the most secure credentials in the nation. Currently issued cards will remain valid until their expiration dates.
The long-lasting polycarbonate design features recognizable Montana state landmarks on the background while making it difficult to replicate with black and white laser engraved images, multi-
color ink, color shifting elements, ultraviolet designs, and raised tactile features.
All Montana licenses and IDs also feature encoded elements such as one and two-dimensional barcodes and security backgrounds designed to help reduce driver license fraud and identity theft
