New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer says his state will have “the most secure licensing system in the nation,” now that the department of U.S. Homeland Security has signed off on the plan.
According to The Associated Press, the state will actually have three different driver’s licenses.
One is a so-called “enhanced” license that will be as secure as a passport and will satisfy customs requirements at the United States’ international borders.
Another will be a version that complies with federal Real ID standards, which make it harder to get a fake version.
And the last will be a driver’s license for undocumented immigrants, which will allow them to drive but will not serve as a valid federal ID.
