New look to driver’s license/ID cards

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio’s state-issued identification cards are getting a new look for the New Year.

Starting today, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles will issue a new format of Ohio’s driver license and identification cards to residents renewing the documents.

The current salmon-colored cards are being replaced by a blue/green card with the word “OHIO” and the year “1803” near the top of the laminate on the front of the card.

Those who have old driver’s licenses or ID cards can use them until they expire but anyone who wants to get a new one before the current ones expire may do so by paying a $25.75 fee for a driver’s license or $8.50 for an ID at local Deputy Registrars.
