Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced the introduction of a new driver’s license design, which will be available to residents starting July 1, 2024. This update aims to enhance security and prevent identity fraud across the state.
"The new driver’s licenses will incorporate advanced security features, including holograms, UV images, and tamper-resistant elements," Reeves said in a press release. These measures are designed to protect against identity theft and counterfeiting, providing a more secure form of identification for Mississippians.
The announcement, made via the governor's official website and social media channels, highlights the state's commitment to improving public safety infrastructure. The new design is part of broader efforts to modernize state services and ensure the safety of residents' personal information.
Residents will be able to apply for the new licenses starting July 1, with updates expected to streamline the issuance process. The enhanced features aim to not only improve security but also make the licenses more efficient and user-friendly.
