What is a Secure Driver's License
CSDL, Fri, 02/05/2010 - 02:51

One issued only after the identity of the applicant has been confirmed by documentary proof and validated by reference systems (use of SSOLV, EVVE, SAVE).
One that incorporates multi-level physical security features, such as counterfeit proof foils, kinegrams, hidden microprint, together with an identifiable mark that shows it meets federal PL109-13 standards.
Why do we need a more secure driver’s license?
- More reliable safeguards against terrorists where entry is checked against watch lists – e.g., airports.
- Helps to safeguard us against identity fraud at banks, retailers, and protects our government and health records from unauthorized access.
- Helps ensure that identity documents correspond to actual identities.
- Keeps violent felons from buying guns under assumed identities.
- Significant deterrent to trafficking of prescription and restricted sale drugs.
- Helps to prevent underage drinking.
- A critical enforcement tool to prevent sales of tobacco products to children.
- Keeps habitual offenders who have had their driver’s licenses revoked from driving under assumed names.
