Michigan to Update ID Documents

The Michigan Secretary of State (SOS), in the US, said the state is changing the look of its driving licences and state ID cards, starting in 2024. According to the SOS, the new licences will come with cutting-edge technology and put the state in line with national best practice.

The new licences will include engraved data and other security features that the SOS said will reduce the risk of counterfeiting and fraud.

According to the state, the font and colour theme have been updated to distinguish from the current design, and the cards will display the Michigan Coat of Arms.

Also, the names of the five Great Lakes will be seen in multi-coloured text when the card is held at certain angles.
