county of issuance and shall bear the full name, residential address, birth

index finger of the licensee. If the right index fingerprint cannot be secured
for any reason, the print of another finger may be used but such print shall be
marked to identify the finger from which the print is taken.
If the
licensee changes his or her address, he or she must apply for a new license in
the same manner as provided for a lost
license. The license shall show the date
of issuance, the expiration date, and the probate court in which issued and
shall be signed by the licensee and bear the signature or facsimile thereof of
the judge. The seal of the court shall be placed on the face before the license
is laminated. The reverse side of the license shall have imprinted thereon in
its entirety Code Section 16-11-127."
