  • Portfolio: Fraud Prevention & Detection

  • The motor vehicle administration community has always been faced with fraudulent activities associated with various items including driver's licenses, driver testing, vehicle documentation. AAMVA's commitment to fraud prevention includes the development of training programs, standards, best practices and innovative technology applications that help motor vehicle agencies meet the ever-growing demand for tools and techniques to combat fraud.

    FDR 2013 Update

    • DL/ID Card Design Standard
      This standard provides the motor vehicle administration community with recommended practices for the design of DL/ID cards. AAMVA’s Card Design Standard Committee updates this standard annually.
                                         
    • Internal Fraud Detection and Deterrence Best Practice (2010)
      AAMVA's Internal Fraud Working Group released the "Internal Fraud Deterrence and Detection Best Practices" document in January 2011. The document contains information on why people commit fraud, how to spot fraud and the various controls that can be put into place. It also contains a comprehensive checklist containing both operational and technical solutions that can be implemented to assist with the detection and deterrence of fraud.  
                                                 
    • Data Analysis for Vehicle Fraud and Theft Best Practice (2004)
      The goal of the Data Analysis for Fraud and Theft procedure is to provide a model protocol for state titling agencies and law enforcement to format files and exchange the results of the batch runs. In support of the goal, AAMVA coordinates and promotes use of the procedure and tools among law enforcement agencies. Distribution of this procedure to all state titling and law enforcement agencies is expected to result in a national effort to use existing data sources to identify and recover stolen vehicles, and to apprehend and prosecute individuals who commit theft and fraud.

    Fraudulent Detection and Remediation Training (FDR)

    AAMVA's FDR training provides in-depth examples and explanations of the types of security features in circulation and how to identify them. These training courses are used by over 92 percent of jurisdictions in their fight against fraud and are invaluable to any organization that comes into contact with driver’s licenses, ID credentials or secure documents of any kind. AAMVA’s FDR training program is steadily progressing to become the industry standard in fraud training.
