Hawaii’s New Secure IDs Are Here | Honolulu News

Hawaii’s rolling out its first major driver’s license and ID update in nearly 20 years—packed with over 50 cutting-edge security features to stop identity theft. Think laser-engraved photos, raised lettering, tamper-proof polycarbonate material, and hidden holograms that only reveal themselves under special lights. The design keeps that classic Hawaiian flair with the state flag and rainbow front, and the humuhumunukunukuapua’a and coral reef on the back. But beneath the beauty lies serious tech: microtext, encrypted data, animated portraits, and ink transitions that make counterfeiting nearly impossible. A massive state-county collaboration, this upgrade brings Hawaii’s IDs into the 21st century after 17 years. Your current ID still works until it expires, but if you want the new one sooner, you can order it online—faster (4-5 weeks vs. 6-8) and at the same price.
