Idaho's driver's licenses & ID cards
Plastic cards are produced at a secure, central facility and mailed to the customer within 3 weeks. The card is mailed in an unmarked envelope, much the same way credit cards or passports are mailed.
Applicants leave the county driver licensing office with a temporary card, valid for 60 days. This temporary card is printed on special security paper with a black and white digital image.
Current Idaho licenses and ID cards remain valid until it is time to renew.
Drivers' License cards incorporate numerous security features, including micro-printing, ghost images and a laser-perforated pattern that reveals the shape of Idaho when held to the light.
A brochure with more information on security features is posted here.
The temporary document
A temporary driver's license or identification card will be issued to use for identification and driving purposes until the plastic card is mailed in approximately 3 weeks. If you not receive your card after this time period please call 208-334-8735.
The temporary document contains a photo and all of the information that is contained on the plastic card, including the machine-readable barcode.
It is printed on security paper, which contains ultra-violet (UV) fibers throughout. These fibers can be easily detected under a UV light source. The paper's reverse side features the Idaho state seal, and is color-washed with thermochromatic ink that temporarily turns white when warmed by the touch.
When the plastic card arrives in the mail, the temporary document should be destroyed. Read more about the temporary document here.
FAQs
Central Issuance means driver's licenses and identification (ID) cards will be produced at a central, secure location and then mailed to you. You will receive a temporary license or identification card; the new card will be sent to your mailing address in approximately 3 weeks.
