Nevada licenses were last changed 6 years ago, and in an effort to heighten security, they are being changed again.

Licenses will now look different and contain more security features to make it more difficult to counterfeit and alter. The security features, already in place on driver's licenses in 14 states, is produced by L-1 Identity Solutions in California, and will be mailed from their secured office.

Yes, that means Nevada driver's licenses will no longer be available in Nevada.

Pictured above is the new license. Features include a digital photo as part of the card (instead of attached), a ghost image of the same photo, a state outline ontop of the ghost photo, several patterns overlapping images and text throughout the card, and other measures not revealed.

You may remember a couple years back when records were stolen from a Las Vegas DMV. Now no records will be kept at a Nevada DMV, as all records will be stored at a central location... in California.

If you pick up a new license or renew at the DMV, your old license will have a hole punched and returned, and you'll receive a temporary 30-day 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper to enable you to continue driving until a maximum of 10 days later when you receive your new license in the mail.

We're unclear how being mailed a new license is part of the heightened security, but ours is not to question why. Licenses will still be able to be renewed online.

The rollout of the new licenses will begin tomorrow in Carson City and extend to Las Vegas by the end of November.

The cost will be funded by taxpayers and a 75-cent fee increase per driver's license -- $22.

But at least they will still get you into strip clubs for free.
