The ACT Government recently introduced a new-look driving licence, designed to enhance security. Key updates include:
- Modern, secure card design featuring enhanced holograms and anti-fraud elements
- Revised data layout, including clearer formatting of licence numbers, expiry dates, and personal details
- Updated fonts and positioning for improved legibility and machine readability
These changes improve the integrity of ACT issued licences and align with national standards for secure identity documents.
