DMV manager designs new driver’s license and ID card DMV is unveiling a new card design and Bonnie Fogdall, DMV Business Operations Manager, had a lot to do with the new look. Bonnie (pictured below) and her staff worked with a new vendor, Marquis ID Systems (MIDS), to design the new license and ID card that includes leading-edge security features that are nearly impossible to counterfeit. MIDS is a license provider for several states, including Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Wyoming, Maryland, New Hampshire and the District of Columbia. “The new vendor was very open to our ideas and worked hard to help us create a design that is distinctly Idaho and makes use of our beautiful state’s unique geological characteristics,” said Fogdall. Security measures are embedded in design features that include the Monarch Butterfly (Idaho’s state insect) and an image of the Idaho Capitol Building. It is important to note that the card does not include chip technology. Other components include: - Blue/red colors are the most difficult to produce To prepare for issuing the new license and ID cards, Idaho’s 53 county driver’s licensing locations will close for half-day increments starting in October to install equipment and implement internal procedures. DMV will issue a statewide press release and have information available at booths at the Eastern and Western Idaho State Fairs later this summer. The press release and other materials will direct customers to its website at http://www.itd.idaho.gov/dmv/ to confirm daily schedules in each county. - Head to your local county driver’s licensing location to apply for a new license or ID.
