History of IDEC The International Driver Examiner Certification (IDEC) Program was designed as a result of the growing responsibilities being placed on driver licensing personnel. In 1980 AAMVA and NHTSA began the development of an examiner certification program and in 1982, the IDEC Program was released and ready for jurisdictions to adopt.
