Sounds good to me.
Georgia driver's licenses and ID cards will change this fall, as state officials add new features designed to combat document fraud.
New cards will feature ghost photos, a laser-engraved signature over the primary photo to minimize alterations and a tamper resistant coating placed over the card. The cards will feature machine-readable barcodes that can be used by banks, retailers and other businesses to verify the information printed on the front.
New card production will begin at Conyers, Covington and Locust Grove in September. All state customer service center locations will feature the new cards by November.
Previously issued Georgia licenses and IDs will remain valid until the expiration date.
Gov. Sonny Perdue says the change will protect identities of Georgia's citizens.

Sounds good to me.
Protect the identities from who?? Big Brother?
With the barcode on the back, I hope you can report a drivers license theft and "deactivate" an ID somehow like you can with credit cards. That might help catch identity thiefs who use stolen IDs.
uh oh.......
REAL ID sounds better, if it can be funded.
With the help of the ACLU the NAACP will protest these changes claiming it would be too difficult to facilitate these changes since the costs of a driver's license will likely go up a dollar or two.
Another Redneck!!!!mgroothood what is your education level?
Mine doesn't expire til 2032.
I don't want Sonny's signature over the top of my head.
Sure the barcode isn't a prelude the mark of the beast?
Sounds good to Rose right up until she must produce one to vote.
how can you have a licence or id that is good until 2032 please explain
If you are a Vet you can get a free license good until you are 65 years old.
I guess if you were 18 and just coming out of the military, your license would be good til like 2056. Not a bad deal.
