As part of ongoing security enhancements, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has updated the design and enhanced the security features of its driver license and identification card products.
PennDOT entered a new contract with MorphoTrust USA in August of 2015 and has worked with the company on planning, design and deployment of this major new security enhancement initiative.
All Driver and Photo centers will transition to the new products by the end of October 2017.
However, this update is unrelated to the REAL ID Act, as the new cards are not REAL ID-compliant. System, building infrastructure and process changes will be necessary for Pennsylvania to issue REAL ID-compliant products.
PennDOT anticipates that REAL ID-compliant driver licenses and identification cards will be available at customer’s option in 2019.
