The Card Design Standard Subcommittee was convened to update and create realistic and durable standards employed by AAMVA jurisdictions to enhance the interoperability of DMV and traffic data records and to provide a voice for the AAMVA community in standardization efforts with other organizations. This improves customer service and safety while emphasizing privacy protection measures.
