The cards will have a dramatically different look and feel and will be the most secure that our state has ever issued! Advantages of the new licensing process include increased fraud protection, added security features and machinereadable technology. It will be harder to steal someone's identity or counterfeit a license. Not only will the new licensing system provide more security, but it will enhance DDS' customer service efforts. Modern technology will allow a faster issuance process. A new data management system includes electronic imaging to scan documents where they may be easily accessed later. The new processes will enable DDS to provide even faster, friendlier and easier service. More importantly, they will ensure that Georgia continues to protect the integrity and security of one of our State's - most important processes. lnterim A new security practice is the issuance of an lnterim license or ID for first issuance or renewal to each customer at DDS' centers. This process will help combat identity theft by allowing DDS to verify photographs stored in the system with customers presenting themselves for new documents. The lnterim is generally valid up to 45 days, when a permanent license or ID is mailed to the customer's address on file with DDS. All Interims are printed on special security paper and include a photo and signature. Data on the front of the card can be validated by reading the unencrypted 2-D barcode, and there are many other security features.
