DL/ID Card Design Specification 11 Functional Requirements Evidence of the privilege to drive Identification Age verification Address/residence verification Automated administrative processing

DL/ID Card Design Specification 12 Three Key Concepts Interoperability Commonality Security

DL/ID Card Design Specification 13 A More Common Appearance Use of zoned layouts Tighter standards for the picture Common security feature

DL/ID Card Design Specification 14 Two Basic Layouts Horizontal – 21 and over Vertical – under 21 –Only the front is vertical

DL/ID Card Design Specification 15 DL/ID Card Zones Zone I –Document type indicator “DRIVING LICENCE” “IDENTIFICATION CARD” –Background colors Pink for the DL Green for the ID –Issuing jurisdiction –Issuing country

DL/ID Card Design Specification 16 DL/ID Card Zones Zone II –Most of the data elements –Digitized signature (one choice) Zone III –The portrait Full-face for all 70-80% of Zone Three –Digitized signature (the other choice)

DL/ID Card Design Specification 17 Common Security Device An Optical Variable Device or OVD Always in Zone 4 (back of the license) Primarily a Level 1 device, but will have some Level 2 features

DL/ID Card Design Specification 18 Goals for the OVD Simple, recognizable design Difficult to copy or simulate Easily learned methods of validation

DL/ID Card Design Specification 19 OVD Features The Task Force is strongly considering these features for the OVD: –Level 1 (visible to naked eye) 3-D art work Parallax clue Color movement Flip image –Level 2 (needs a tool) Nanotext Feature that uses a special light source, such as laser or ultraviolet

DL/ID Card Design Specification 20 The Common MRT MRT = machine-readable technology The requirement –The PDF-417 bar code must be used –A second MRT may be used in addition Steps taken to improve implementation

DL/ID Card Design Specification 21 DL/ID Card Verification Each business will determine the level of verification they will use based on their own assessment of their own risk. For example: –Library may just look at Level 1 feature(s). –Bars may look at Level 1 and Level 2. –Airlines may want to electronically verify the license with the issuing agency.
