Chapter 1: North Carolina's New Driver License and Identification Card
In the Fall of 1996, NCDMV began issuing a newly designed driver license and identification card. Until the year 2005, you will continue to see the old-style license and identification card until they reach their normal expiration dates.
This new driver license/identification card represents a complete overhaul of the current driver licensing system, with major emphasis on document security.
A process called digital imaging is used to obtain and store customer portraits and signatures.
Along with digital-imaging, the new driver license is equipped with a bar code system that
houses each customer's personal data. It can only be accessed by NCDMV, law enforcement
agencies, and other persons with legal authorization to verify the information on the card.
