The California Department of Motor Vehicles has introduced redesigned driver's licenses and identification cards for the first time in nearly a decade, incorporating additional security features.

In a statement on Wednesday , the agency said the new licenses will replace cards with security features that were initially rolled out in 2010. Current licenses and ID cards will remain valid until their expiration date.

"The new cards use next generation technology to enhance security and with a design that shows California's iconic redwoods, poppies and coastline," said DMV Director Steve Gordon. "While I know some of our customers will want the new version of the driver's license, there is no need to replace an existing license or identification card until your current one expires."
