This interim license is valid for up to 20 days, and the permanent license or ID will be mailed to the customer’s address. All interim licenses are printed on special security paper and include a photo and signature for identification purposes. The information on the front of the card can be validated by reading the 2D barcode. Many other security features have been incorporated to protect you in preventing driver license fraud and identity theft. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDOSHS) is now issuing more secure driver licenses and identification cards. These new licenses will be produced using an improved production and issuing process resulting in a more tamper-proof construction. This will make it much more difficult to alter or counterfeit, protecting private information even more effectively. This process will also help protect you by combating identity theft by allowing TDOSHS to verify photographs stored in the system with customers presenting themselves for new documents. ii INTRODUCTION This Tennessee Comprehensive manual has been divided into three (3) separate sections.
