New Jersey Redesigns Driver's Licenses To Protect Against Fraud, Identity Theft

TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- New Jersey has unveiled a new driver's license that offers more security.

Officials say the new design will better protect against fraud and identity theft.

The licenses will be produced at one location, so that means New Jersey drivers will no longer get a license at Motor Vehicle Commission offices.

It will be mailed instead and drivers will get a temporary license.

Officials say this will also speed up the process at the MVC.
