 PennDOT has asked us to notify you of the new temporary driver's license program. Starting November 1, new drivers and new residents of the Commonwealth will receive a temporary license, valid for 15 days, during which time PennDOT technology will conduct facial recognition to verify that individual does not already have a license under anoher name.
You ak why this is important for retailers? When your clerks ask the customer for photo ID, you need to know that although this new product will have a "temporary" tag associated with it, it is still a valid product.
The temporary license will have a gray banner and "temporary" printed in red with the expiration date. These temporary cards can be used by businesses to validate name, age, address, etc. just as current ID cards are used. PennDOT will have completed initial verifications to prove identity and residency prior to issuing the temporary card. For more information please visit PennDot's website.
