Ohio Now Issuing New Driver’s License
Effective January 5, 2015, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles began issuing a driver’s license and state identification card with an updated look. The most striking new feature of the updated cards is the background color, which was officially “salmon”, and is now a combination of blue and green. Additionally, the laminate on the new licenses features both “OHIO” and “1803” near the top; 1803 is the year of Ohio’s founding. The text in the laminate layer should provide supplemental security against fraud.
