DMV Unveils New California Driver's License

SACRAMENTO (CBS) - California driver licenses are getting a new look. The Department of Motor Vehicles unveiled the upgraded license Wednesday.

DMV says it's too easy right now to get a fake license and the changes are designed to make it harder to make counterfeit licenses.

The majority of concerns involve counterfeit licenses being used by illegal immigrants to get work.

The new license has more security features like a laser engraved signature.

It will also have a second smaller picture of you visible only under ultraviolet light.
