TSA issue with new Nevada driver’s licenses fixed

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - UPDATE SEPT. 14 The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles says an issue with TSA scanners is being resolved.

The new design of Nevada driver’s licenses made it difficult for TSA scanners to read the bar code, creating delays at airport security checkpoints.

The TSA now reports that its scanners in most of the country have been updated, and the scanners in the Eastern time zone are being updated this week.

You can find more information at DMVNV.com.

All Nevada driver’s licenses and ID cards now feature the new design that was rolled out beginning in July. But allow yourself extra time if you’re using the card as ID at the airport. TSA scanners can’t read the updated barcode. See https://t.co/A6b4iGhkwd for more information. pic.twitter.com/11jbonJLgu
