Voprosi dlya attestacii vospitatelej dou s otvetami. In February 2017, Washington state began issuing newly designed driver licenses and ID cards. The new cards are aimed at better protecting residents from identity theft.

NOTE: The new licenses and ID cards have a new look, but their functions haven’t changed. The Enhanced Driver Licenses and Enhanced ID Cards (EDLs/EIDs) can be used for all federal identification purposes, including: entering secure federal facilities and, following the January 2018 federal compliance deadline, boarding domestic flights at commercial airports. Standard driver licenses and ID cards are still not valid for these federal purposes.
