States started doing cool things with UV ink 20+ years ago.
My favorite thing on a license though was the microprinting on MA licenses. It looks like a bar going across the top of the license under “Massachusetts” but it is tiny printing and every second or third printing of “registry of Motor Vehicles” they intentionally misspelled “registry”.

Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.
How?
The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn’t 126 years old, so we’ll say they’re 26.
You can tell it’s an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)
You’re getting that from 298815?
