Biometric Authentication - Identity Proofing through Liveness Detection
Wisconsin DMV embarked on a new solution to aid in preventing online fraud in 2024. Due to an increase of fraudulent attempts through some online applications, DMV determined additional security features were necessary. After researching several multi-factor authentication options, DMV decided that Identity Proofing using biometric verification was the highest level of security currently available. WI DMV partnered with Incode Technologies, Inc. (Incode) to integrate their identity proofing solution into three online applications that were experiencing the most fraudulent attempts: Purchasing your own driving record, applying for a duplicate driver license or ID card, and renewing your driver license or ID card.
