A top-tier Illinois scannable ID must incorporate:
-
Skyline Holograms: Dynamic holograms of the Chicago skyline or state seal shimmer under light, exclusive to Illinois licenses, in a horizontal layout.
-
UV Blacklight Patterns: Concealed designs, like “IL” or the state seal, glow under blacklight, aligning with Illinois’s UV standards.
-
REAL ID Gold Star: A flawless gold REAL ID star in the upper-right corner, replicating compliant Illinois IDs.
-
Scannable Barcode and Magnetic Strip: The ID passes scans at bars or retailers, with accurate data encoding.
-
Microtext Details: Tiny text, often “Illinois” or state motto, near the seal or edges, ensures authenticity.
