The new cards will retain Hawaii\u2019s iconic rainbow and will also feature the state flag, island chain, state fish and state seal.<\/p>\n

New security features<\/h2>\n

The city Department of Customer Services said the redesign also includes 50 security features intended to deter forgery and verify authenticity.<\/p>\n

Those features include laser-engraved black-and-white photographs and personal information, tamper-resistant patterns and raised text.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The department expects to produce roughly 300,000 cards per year.<\/p>\n

When to expect the new cards<\/h2>\n

Kim Hashiro, director of the city Department of Customer Services, said an exact release date has not been set, but said it will be \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly when they\u2019ll be coming out, but we don\u2019t want customers to refrain from renewing,\u201d Hashiro said.<\/p>\n

Hashiro said cardholders whose cards do not expire within the next six months will have the option to request a duplicate with the same photo, name and address, but printed in the new format.<\/p>\n

Current driver\u2019s licenses and state IDs will remain valid until their printed expiration date.<\/p>\n

Residents react to new design <\/h2>\n

\u201cWow, 17 years is a very long time, but you know what, never late than never, right?\u201d Janelle Tam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the new design is very pretty and it\u2019s awesome that they are implementing new anti-theft forgery,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Resident Sally Arakaki said she welcomed both the look and the added security.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt looks good. I see it\u2019s very nice, and the color is just beautiful,\u201d said Arakaki. <\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that it\u2019s going to work because there\u2019s a lot of scam and theft. Hopefully that help everybody out,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
