A top-tier South Dakota scannable ID must incorporate:
-
Rushmore Holograms: Radiant holograms of Mount Rushmore or seal shimmer under light, exclusive to South Dakota licenses, in a horizontal layout.
-
UV Blacklight Patterns: Concealed designs, like “SD” or the state seal, glow under blacklight, aligning with South Dakota’s UV features.
-
REAL ID Gold Star: A precise gold REAL ID star in the upper-right corner, replicating compliant South Dakota IDs.
-
Scannable Barcode and Magnetic Strip: The ID passes scans at bars or retailers, with correct data encoding.
-
Microtext Details: Ultra-fine text, often “South Dakota” or pheasant, near the seal or edges, verifies authenticity.
