A top-tier California scannable ID must incorporate:
-
Golden Bear Holograms: Radiant holograms of the state bear or seal glimmer under light, exclusive to California licenses, in a horizontal layout.
-
UV Blacklight Patterns: Concealed designs, like a bridge or “CA,” glow under blacklight, consistent with California’s UV features.
-
REAL ID Gold Star: A precise gold REAL ID star in the upper-right corner, replicating compliant California IDs.
-
Scannable Barcode and Magnetic Strip: The ID passes electronic checks at bars or stores, with correct data encoding.
-
Microtext Details: Ultra-fine text, often “California” or state motto, near the seal or edges, verifies authenticity.
