McCracken County to receive new driver's license software | People

MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The McCracken County Circuit Court Clerk's office will suspend issuing driver's licenses for one day as new software and cameras get installed.

the software and cameras will be installed on Thursday, Aug. 23.

Other operations at the circuit clerk's office will not be affected. The office will be open on Aug. 23, just not able to issue licenses.

The office will be open for driver's licensing operations on Friday, Aug. 24. The new license will be available for McCracken County residents.

The new license has multiple layers of security features, all linked to each other, so counterfeiters must compromise multiple technologies – not just one.

Features of the new license include:

·         Digital watermark imperceptible to the human eye

·         Bank note-level fine line printing

·         Improved dual-side lamination for greater tamper resistance and durability

·         Hologram with single-color, ultraviolet “ghost” image

Starting in the fall, new licenses will also feature “veteran” and “organ donor” designations.

Customers are not required to obtain new licenses before current licenses expire. The process for obtaining or renewing a license will not change. The cost remains $20.
