Too much use of color pink. It's causing high amount of red light spectrum reflectivity. It tricks scanners optical system leading to readability and authentication failures. Document scanners use red light illumination or red sensitive imagining to capture data.
It’s so mahu looking that’s why. 😅
That means they are NOT US Citizens. They are just permanent residents here… They are not illegally here but they are just a legal resident here in Hawai’i. And that same scan should shows when voting. Oh well lol
Hoa Brah we make um bettah
at least they can still vote?
Doesn’t matter because with the yellow star they have to take them
My old one doesn’t always scan either
The drivers licenses are failing because of allowed forgeries for pecuniary benefit.
Hawaii still using windows 99 lol😂
If you don't travel much your license doesn't get scanned very much at government agencies except to vote, only when buying drugs or going to a bank that you don't bank with. Even if you get pulled over the officer just calls in your numbers. So everybody better have their license checked because this could be one of Tramp's sneaky ways of cluttering the voting especially since we are a blue state. The state better investigate this quickly. Thank you!
We had the best ID and now it looks like shit
Your governor failed to fix the problem.
It's TSA's fault. The TSA workers are too lazy to input the info, easier to say it doesn't work.
System data isnt in the system scanable…?
Omg ! Mine does not work either! Especially for take picture of it for federal government SSDI for GameStop for nothing! Fails every-time! What can I do?
It has nothing to do with the design. I have the old design, issued last year and it fails at the ID scanner. Its the barcode. Nothing to do with the design. Same reason I can’t add it to my wallet as a digital ID. How do these people who work for our state not know how to test a product before they release it to the public. 😒
People need to start complaing about the new licenses so they can stop using the excuse no one is complaining.
Once again the stae fails and doesn't want to admit it.
Fuck scanning it type my shit in
Like I said if it's not broken why fix it. The other one was better
I work at USPS and find this all the time old and new. Hawaii ID have way more issues than those from the Continent.
And it’s not just the NEW IDs! My Hawaii REAL ID driver’s license was issued in 2022, and it still only scans about half the time at most airports — INCLUDING KAUAI! I constantly end up wasting time at TSA because of it.
The last time this happened was in Seattle. I spent almost an hour trying to get it sorted out. If a supervisor hadn’t finally stepped in and told the TSA officer, “Oh, it’s a Hawaii driver’s license — we have problems with those all the time,” I might have missed my flight.
This is a serious problem. We’re paying for a government-issued ID that doesn’t even reliably work with the government’s own systems.
Everybody : It's not my fault ❗
The most WOKE drivers license so far…. I bet the person responsible is like DAT
Hawaii has a hard time getting the simple things write come on 😂
You "might need to bring another form of ID" you know…like a drivers license or passport🤣🤣
Pass the blame…wasnʻt me!!
Yep, my new DL ID doesn't do shite when it needs scanning, so I have to carry my State ID for anything electronic. Luckily, I have 2 passports to travel with.
That happened yesterday hnl to lih
