Following the increased security measures numerous USA states have been implementing for their residents&#8217; driver&#8217;s licenses and ID cards, the four Atlantic Canadian provinces are redesigning their driver&#8217;s licenses and ID cards to better protect their citizens from identity theft, fraud, and forgery.
Starting in November, the new ID cards and driver&#8217;s licenses, to be printed at a central facility that distributes to all four provinces, will be mailed to new applicants within 14 days, according to Nova Scotia&#8217;s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. You can see a sample of the new Nova Scotia driver&#8217;s license and ID cards below:

Current Atlantic Canadian license-holders don&#8217;t need to acquire the new license until their current one expires. All residents renewing their license will be given a temporary document until the license arrives from the central facility, and the roll-out will be gradual over the next 5 years as current licenses and ID cards expire.
Here are some of the features for the new Canadian driver&#8217;s licenses and ID cards (see examples in images of the new Prince Edward Island driver&#8217;s license design below):
<ul>
<li>Changeable laser image (multiple images can occupy the same area)</li>
<li>Polycarbonate, tamper-resistant card material</li>
<li>Tactile text via embossing and laser engraving</li>
<li>Inventory Control Number and accompanying barcode</li>
<li>Black and white photographs</li>
<li>Banning wearing glasses in photos</li>
<li>Rainbow printing and a maple leaf on the back</li>
</ul>
