Return of green and white license plate, new driver’s licenses, and IDs with higher security are on the way in 2024.
The #Michigan Department of State announced the state is bringing back a green and white “Water Wonderland” license plate and will begin issuing Michigan driver’s licenses and state IDs with a new security design in 2024.
The plate is similar to one issued in 1963 for some types of vehicles.
This year marked the 60th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and UAW President Walter Reuther leading the Walk to Freedom in Detroit to speak out against injustice and inequality. Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at Cobo Hall during that visit – two months before he addressed the March on Washington on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The green and white “Water Wonderland” plate pays tribute to that historic year.
“New driver’s licenses and state IDs in line with national best practices and cutting-edge technology, Michigan is changing the look of its driver’s licenses and state IDs to include engraved data and numerous other new security features that will reduce the risk of counterfeiting and fraud.
The font and color theme have been updated to clearly distinguish from the current design and cards will prominently display the Michigan Coat of Arms,” MSOS said in a release.
