I recall an Illinois title closing agent telling me that there was a contact/phone number to call at the Illinois Secretary of State’s office to confirm the authenticity of a driver’s license. Is this the case in your State? ---

I doubt it. Fraudsters would tie it up constantly trying to “confirm” computer generated possibities. ---

I agree with Judi. We are in WA State and lucky if you can get anyone to answer the phone without being on hold for a very long time. ---

Forgo to say Hello IL ~ nice when people post what state they are located for comments. Wish forum would put state beside our smiling faces and call sign. 😀 ---

Not in my state. Our new drivers license that started in late 2022 do have text that glows under blacklight though. I did buy a little blacklight flashlight to check new IDs and cash currency paid. ---

Texas does the same thing. It impressive when you can show the ‘magic’ under black light to a customer. You can also use a black light on US currency of $20 ad larger. Checks also have UV embedded threads in their paper. ---
