A vendor error has resulted in thousands of misprinted driver's licenses and state IDs being mailed to residents. The Michigan Secretary of State reports that over 8,200 residents were affected by the mistake. The misprints occurred in a batch of cards printed by vendor Idemia, where a generic stock photo and incorrect date of birth were used instead of the cardholder's information.

The error has caused confusion among recipients, who found a stranger's face on their new license. Further details about the incident are available from the source. The mistake is being attributed to a vendor error, and an investigation may be underway, although specifics are not provided here.
