Ohio to Join State-to-State Verification Service (S2S)
Ohio will begin using AAMVA's State-to-State Verification Service (S2S) on Monday, April 19, 2021. Tasks related to on-boarding Ohio will be conducted during the weekend of April 17, 2021. During this process (Saturday evening to Monday morning), there will be periods during which the CDLIS/S2S Central Site (Central Site) will be in inquiry-only mode or unavailable (over and above the regularly scheduled maintenance window of 2:00 AM ET to 5:00 AM ET on Sunday, April 18, 2021). AAMVA is taking all steps possible to minimize service interruptions and will be sending alerts notifying states of Central Site availability throughout the process. Read more here.
AAMVA's Combined Standing Committees Meet Virtually
AAMVA’s three standing committees – Driver, Law Enforcement, and Vehicle – met virtually last week as a combined group. Individual committees held separate breakout meetings prior to the combined meeting. Each committee reported on their feedback from the virtual Workshop, recommendations for new working groups and projects, and new proposed policies. The group also provided feedback on a Federal Highway Administration data initiative. Committee members participated in networking breakouts that allowed them to connect in small groups, which was widely appreciated. The next Combined Standing Committees meeting will take place in October 2021, hopefully in person.
AAMVA’s Joint mDL Working Group Meets with Australian Counterparts
AAMVA’s Joint mDL Working Group has been diligently working to provide guidance documentation for jurisdictions to prepare for mobile driver license (mDL) and implement solutions. As mDL is a global topic, the discussions in the working group are not unique to North America. On Thursday, April 8, 2021 members of the Joint mDL Working Group met virtually with Australia’s Registration and Licensing (RL) Systems and Personal Identity Committee, as well as Australian policy makers and identity owners. The topics included digital trust services, governance, and law enforcement acceptance of mDL. The meeting provided insight on the similarities of the topics being discussed in each of the groups, and laid the groundwork for continued collaboration between AAMVA, Austroads and the working groups in the future.
E-Title Working Group Seeks Feedback on Draft E-Titling Solution
Framework Document
AAMVA's E-Title Working Group is developing a guidance document and standards to support a national interoperable electronic titling solution. As a first step, the working group focused on identifying key elements of an interoperable solution and has drafted a framework. The working group recognizes the value of gaining input from all parties who are involved in titling transactions throughout the process and invites feedback from jurisdictions and stakeholders. The E-Titling Solution Framework is available for download on the AAMVA website and your comments can be submitted online until April 23, 2021.
