Connecticut Drivers License Security Features

Here at Aceable, we help people get their. And since there’s a listicle for everything these days, we thought we’d make one for driver license designs, ranking them worst to best. A note about driver licenses: There’s lots of restrictions when it comes to designing them due to a recently passed Act of Congress called Real ID. This act requires state IDs, or driver licenses, to have tons security features that they didn’t have before — so if your license design has changed in the last few years, that’s probably why. While not all driver licenses are currently Real ID compliant, state governments are working toward it because citizens boarding an airplane will be required to have Real ID by 2020. In short, don’t take these driver license design rankings too seriously. The design is less important than what they enable you to do (drive, duh.) But if your state ranks at the top of the list, definitely brag about it.

New rules are in place that affect what you need to bring to your local DMV when applying for or renewing your driver license or identification card. The Delaware DMV is offering federally compliant driver licenses and identification cards, and you need to find out what documents you need to COLLECT and BRING with you so you can SECURE your new driver license or identification card. We want to make your experience at the DMV as positive and seamless as possible, and your preparation will aid in that goal. On July 1, 2010, the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) began offering secure driver licenses and identification cards to our customers.

On your next visit to the Delaware DMV, you can expect to see several changes to our driver license and identification card issuance process. This means that what you need to bring with you when applying for or renewing your driver license or identification card has changed. Please take a moment to review the procedures and find out what documents you will need to COLLECT and BRING with you so you can SECURE your new driver license or identification card. The 9-11 Commission, which was formed following terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, issued several recommendations and requirements that were aimed at improving our nation's security. One powerful and challenging requirement was the development of federal identification standards for states to follow when issuing driver licenses and identification cards. These identification standards are intended to combat terrorism, identity theft, and other crimes by strengthening the integrity and security of state-issued identification documents. Are producing and issuing our driver licenses and identification cards from a highly secure card production room.

Our process gives the Delaware DMV the ability to offer our customers federally compliant driver licenses and identification cards, and our customer flow is streamlined due to a reduction in the number of lines customers have to wait in. A big change for Delaware residents is the one-time revalidation of all source documentation used for obtaining a driver license or identification card.

For existing driver license or identification card holders, you will be presenting original source documents at the time of renewal like you did the first time you obtained your driver license or identification card. Again, this is a one-time revalidation; the only time the DMV will need to see your source documents again is if you decide to change any of the information on your driver license or identification card, such as a name change, or if your immigration documents expire. All new applicants will already be required to show this documentation, so for them it will be business as usual. Below you will find a complete list of acceptable source documentation. Some existing customers may not want or be able to bring these documents.

If you are unable to produce these documents, you may obtain a non-compliant driver license or identification card. A compliant driver license or identification card is distinguishable by the gold star in the upper right corner, and a non-compliant card is distinguishable by the phrase 'Not for Federal Identification' printed in the upper margin. '.you will be able to use your driver license or identification card for domestic flights, entering federal facilities, and other official federal purposes.'

DMV has made these process changes to comply with federal identification standards. By complying with these standards, in addition to driving authority and identification, you will be able to use your driver license or identification card for domestic flights, entering federal facilities, and other official federal purposes. Without obtaining a federally compliant driver license or identification card you will be required to obtain a U.S. Passport to do these things and obtaining a passport would be more time consuming and expensive for you.

Do you need documentation to obtain a SecureID?. The source documents required to prove identity, lawful status, date of birth, and social security number for a compliant driver license or identification card are documents the DMV already requires. In order to obtain a federally compliant driver license or identification card, first time Delaware applicants and existing Delaware applicants should expect to provide original source documents as proof of identity and legal presence in the United States, social security number, and Delaware residence.

For existing driver license or identification card holders you will be presenting original source documents at the time of renewal like you did the first time you obtained your driver license or identification card. This one-time revalidation of your source documents will enable the DMV to ensure your identity. By planning ahead and coming prepared to the Division of Motor Vehicles, your compliant driver license or identification card request will be handled more efficiently Select the 'Document Guide' tab above to find out what documentation you'll need to COLLECT and BRING with you so you can SECURE your new driver license or identification card.

In order to do so, we incorporated the following changes into our issuance process: • Reversed our customer flow to allow for the driver license or identification card photo to be taken right at the beginning of the issuance process. • Updated the look and security of our driver licenses and identification cards to make them extremely difficult to replicate. • Compare all driver license and identification card photos to our facial recognition database to ensure the person standing in front of us is who he/she says he/she is.
