Florida driver license and ID card to get new look, added protections

The state of Florida is making changes to its driver license and identification card.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles will begin issuing the new cards in August.

Aside from a different look, the state says the new cards will provide double the fraud protections to Floridians who carry it.

Not all counties will begin issuing the card at the same time.  Volusia County will be the first county to have the new ID’s available beginning August 21.

A week later, Okalosa, Leon, Duval, Brevard, Manatee, Lee and Broward counties will begin issuing the new cards.

By the end of the year, Floridians will be able to get the new license online.
