People are discovering a secret security feature we ALL have on our driving licenses and it’s blowing their minds
A DRIVER’S license contains all sorts your relevant identification info, but it has a fun feature, too.
In a video posted by a man named Matthew Larino, a clip had a message that read: “So apparently if you shine a light on your license some type of animal will show through…”
The clip then revealed a license with a perforated fish.
Shocked to see this, Matthew said: “Get out of town,” then ran to grab his own license.
Sure enough, once he held his I.D. up in the light, a dotted bear shined through.
The comment section was filled with other people finding their own license’s secret animal.
“MINE HAS A TURTLE THIS IS THE HAPPIEST IVE BEEN IN WEEKS,” someone wrote.
Another shared: “A buffalo!!! In Oklahoma!”

Additionally, someone else added: “Yes I had to try it. Connecticut,” and included a photo of a perforated whale.
Apparently, not all licenses feature some kind of animal, though.
Several include the outline of the state, the state’s national tree or flower, or just a symbol representing the state.
For example, Nebraska licenses have a cornhusk, while New Mexico features the Zia sun symbol.
According to the National Notary, these distinct images are used as a security feature and are made during the production of the I.D.s.
The site also noted that: “These images are usually representative of the issuing jurisdiction.”
Meanwhile, if you’ve ever wondered why police officers touch the back of your car when pulling you over, there’s a specific reason for it.
It could be a way to leave evidence at the scene if some kind of altercation occurs.
Also, you can prevent your registration tag from falling off your car, thus avoiding a ticket, by removing old ones and thoroughly preparing the surface.
