When you go to renew your license it's going to look a little different.

The Alberta government has added some new features that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.  

The new license will better protect you against fraud, using tools such as clear windows, laser engraving and 3D embossing that makes it harder to alter or replicate the cards. The new cards also include imagery that reflects Alberta's landscape and history in the form of a dinosaur and Alberta map.

This new license will not only protect against fraud but also save taxpayers one million dollars annually due to advances in manufacturing technology. 

The last redesign that took place was in 2009.  The Alberta government has incorporated advice from law enforcement to ensure that cards have the most up to date safeguards against fraudsters and identity thieves.
