A top-tier Iowa scannable ID must incorporate:
-
Cornstalk Holograms: Vibrant holograms of the state crop or seal glimmer under light, exclusive to Iowa licenses, in a horizontal layout.
-
UV Blacklight Patterns: Concealed designs, like “IA” or the state seal, glow under blacklight, per Iowa’s UV protections.
-
REAL ID Gold Star: An exact gold REAL ID star in the upper-right corner, aligning with compliant Iowa IDs.
-
Scannable Barcode and Magnetic Strip: The ID passes scans at bars or stores, with precise data encoding.
-
Microtext Details: Fine text, often “Iowa” or license details, near the seal or bridge, confirms authenticity.
