Redesigned Nevada driver\u2019s licenses could lead to delays at the state\u2019s airports when passengers present them for identification. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents may have to inspect them manually, instead of the license\u2019s barcode getting scanned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe barcode on the back changed slightly and the TSA\u2019s CAT [credential authentication technology] system has not been updated for it yet,\u201d Kevin Malone, a spokesman for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), confirmed to Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If the TSA\u2019s scanners are unable to read the license, the TSA officer will do a manual inspection of the license,\u201d<\/strong> Malone told Casino.org.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even with the glitch, Nevadans will be able to board a plane. But they will need a valid government-issued ID at the security checkpoint, Malone said.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s new driver\u2019s licenses have enhanced security features and an updated design. The new license either meets or exceeds national security standards. They follow the latest security standards set by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, Malone adds. The standards were updated just last year, Malone said.<\/p>\n

Delays Possible<\/h2>\n

The rollout of the new Nevada licenses began July 12. Many state residents have yet to receive them.<\/p>\n

Licenses that have the older design remain valid until they expire or information on the ID needs to be updated.<\/p>\n

We rolled out the new license design in July and August so relatively few Nevadans have them yet. We cannot tell how many of those will be using their [new] licenses at airports,\u201d<\/strong> Malone said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the Nevada DMV staff is working with TSA employees \u201cto ensure the system is upgraded,\u201d Malone said.<\/p>\n

“A TSA officer can do a manual inspection of a traveler\u2019s government-issued photo ID if for some reason the equipment does not recognize the ID,” Lorie Dankers, a spokeswoman for the TSA told Casino.org.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNevadans with a valid government-issued photo ID will be screened through the security checkpoint and be allowed to travel despite any suggestions to the contrary,\u201d Dankers said.<\/p>\n

Still, the Nevada DMV has stated, \u201cAllow yourself extra time to complete airport security screening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other unrelated issues recently have caused traveler delays at airports. Lyft and Uber drivers were slow to pick up passengers at such airports as McCarran International in April. The delays were blamed on the shortage of ride-sharing service<\/a> drivers. The companies were adjusting payments to encourage more drivers to return to work.<\/p>\n

Casino Visitors Increase<\/h2>\n

Delays come as the number of tourists heading to Nevada casinos and hotels has increased since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

The number of passengers using McCarran International Airport<\/a> exceeded 4 million in July. This figure is near pre-pandemic levels, but the number of international travelers remains well below 2019 totals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, casino-bound vehicles are facing delays on and near the Las Vegas Strip because of ongoing construction<\/a> to improve the roadway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
