New driver license available in Carroll County
Comet staff report

Carroll County residents are now able to obtain the new Indiana digital driver license and identification cards at the Delphi License Branch recently unveiled by Governor Mitch Daniels.

Through the use of innovative technology, the new cards are designed to help battle identity theft and card tampering, and will also help protect against underage drinking and smoking. The new license features a vertical format for those under 21 years of age, with the dates the recipient turns age 18 and 21 highlighted in color.

The new system will produce licenses faster and at less cost than the current cards. Production time is 45 seconds compared to the current production time of 3 minutes. Each new license will cost 99 cents to produce, down from the current $1.27, resulting in a cost savings of $2.5 million during the six-year contract period.
