About 8,200 Michigan residents received enhanced driver's licenses or state IDs bearing the same unfamiliar man's face and a generic birth date after a vendor printing error affected thousands of government-issued credentials.
The Michigan Department of State said the error involved a batch of enhanced licenses and IDs printed Aug. 26 by IDEMIA, the state's card vendor.
The image and birth date did not belong to another Michigan resident, according to the state.
Corrected cards have been mailed automatically, and affected residents do not need to request replacements.
Enhanced IDs and REAL IDs are not identical.
