Current Use of Machine-Readable Technologies
AAMVA tracks what technologies jurisdictions employ on their driver's license and identification card documents. We hope to include information on machine-readable technologies employed on other DMV documentation in the future, such as titles, registrations, and cab cards. If information in this table is out of date for your jurisdiction, please notify Geoff Slagle, Director of Identification Standards.
Although jurisdictions support the AAMVA DL/ID standard, AAMVA cannot indicate whether, or to what degree, any of the jurisdictions are encoding to the standard. All jurisdictions are encouraged to take advantage of AAMVA's free Courtesy Verification Program to determine if their encoding meets the AAMVA standard and what changes need to be made to bring their documents into compliance.
DL/ID Technologies:
- Biometric Technology
- Smart Cards
- Canadian License Technology
- U.S. License Technology
