The license looks slightly different at first glance from the previous version with some driver information rearranged on the card. The corner ghost portrait is now in a circle. A new driver's license format will be introduced for Pa. drivers. (Courtesy of 6abc) PennDOT says the cards also have additional enhanced security features that improve fraud prevention and protect from counterfeiting and alteration. These features include: Guilloche Security Design, a feature that includes sophisticated techniques to embed a variety of customized security patterning into the credential, using non-commercial software developed specifically for high security documents (banknotes, passports, ID cards, etc); Optically Variable Ghost Portrait and Variable Data with UV, features that change their appearance when the viewing angle of the card changes, which moves them from fully visible to non-visible.
