A top-tier Maryland scannable ID must incorporate:
-
Crab Holograms: Radiant holograms of the state crustacean or flag shine under light, unique to Maryland licenses, in a horizontal format.
-
UV Blacklight Patterns: Hidden designs, like “MD” or the state seal, illuminate under blacklight, per Maryland’s security features.
-
REAL ID Gold Star: A precise gold REAL ID star in the upper-right corner, matching compliant Maryland IDs.
-
Scannable Barcode and Magnetic Strip: The ID verifies at venues, encoding correct data.
-
Microtext Details: Ultra-fine text, often “Maryland” or state symbols, near the seal or flag, verifies authenticity.
