DL/ID Card Design Specification• Approved by AAMVA Board at their

September Meeting • Published on AAMVA web site:

– www.aamva.org/Documents/stdAAMVADLIDCardSpecs_092003.pdf

• Supercedes AAMVA DL/ID-2000

3


Overview• Conformance • Mandatory vs. Optional• Review of the Requirements• Maintenance of the Specification• Help with Interpretation and Problem

Reporting

4


Conformance• Meet all mandatory requirements specified

– Directly– By reference– Including

• Annex A – Card Design• Annex B – Physical Security• Annex C – Security Device Index• Annex D – PDF-417 Bar Code• Annex E – Test Methods

5


Requirements• Mandatory

– Must do it– Must implement as specified

• Optional– Choice whether to use it– If used, then implement as specified

• May add other features as long as they do no interfere with requirements

6


Functional requirements• Evidence of the privilege to drive• Identification• Age verification• Address/residence verification• Automated administrative processing

7


Three key concepts• Interoperability• Commonality• Security

8


ISO Compatibility• Follow draft ISO standard for

International Driver License except when there is a strong business need to do something differently.

9


Review of the Requirements

10


Human Readable Data Elements• Gives details of data, format, and placement

– Data Reference – On card reference– Zone placement– Data element name– Definition– Card type– Filed maximum length/type

11


Human Readable Data Elements• Must use either

– On card reference– Data element name

• Data element name– May abbreviate, but– Use abbreviation given is one is supplied

12


The Name Fields• Family Name• Given Name• Name Suffix

13


Numbers• Customer Number

– Previously the DLN• Document discriminator

– Specific instance of the document issued to that customer

• Audit information– When, where and by whom made

• Inventory control number– Affixed to raw materials

14


The Card Layout

15


Zones• Used to tell where to put data elements• Improves common look across

jurisdictions• Preserves some individuality• Zone placement

– One, two, and three on front– Four and five on back

16


Two basic layouts given• Horizontal – 21 and over• Vertical – under 21

– Only the front is vertical

17


Zone I• Provides much of the common look• Document type indicated by

– Text phrase– Background colors

• Issuing jurisdiction• Issuing country

18


Zone II• Most of the data elements• Digitized signature (one choice)

19


Zone III• The portrait

– Full-face for all– 70-80% of Zone Three

• Digitized signature (the other choice)

20


Zone IV• The common security device• Data elements, most explanatory or

overflow

21


Zone V• The common machine-readable

technology (MRT)• A second MRT if used

22


Physical Security• Used to recommend their use, but there

were no requirements• Now at least six devices are required

23


Security Levels• Level 1 – unaided human senses• Level 2 – some type of tool needed• Level 3 – forensic

24


Threat types• Type 1 – counterfeit/simulation• Type 2 – alteration• Type 3 – photo/signature substitution• Type 4 – counterfeit from cannibalized

card

25


Physical Security Requirements• The common security device• One level three device• Four other devices for level one and two

26


Common security device• An Optical Variable Device (OVD) • Always in Zone 4 (back of the license)• Primarily a Level 1 device, but will have

some Level 2 features• More on the OVD later

27


Level 3 Requirement• Must have at least one• Keep out of public record• Details known only to those with need to

know• Shared only with accredited law

enforcement labs

28


Level 1 & 2 requirement• Minimum of four devices• Protect against all for threat types at both

levels• Do not count the OVD or the PDF-417

29


DL/ID Device Index (Annex C)• Lists of physical security devices

– Description of the device– Threat type protected by level

• This annex is informative• The actual protection will depend on how

the device is used

30


Goals for the OVD• Simple, recognizable design• Difficult to copy or simulate • Easily learned methods of validation

31


Production of the OVD• Multiple sources, but• All from a single origination • So all look exactly the same

32


OVD Task Force Plan of Action• First RFP

– Focused on Origination• Second RFP

– Will ensure multiple producers

33


Progress of the OVD Task Force• As a result of the first RFP, AAMVA is

working with De La Rue to complete a contract for the origination

• The design may be announced at the AAMVA International Conference in August

• Expect to issue the second RFP later this year

34


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• Flip image

– Level 2 (needs a tool)• Microtext• Feature that uses a special light source, such as laser or

ultraviolet

35


Mandatory Machine-Readable Technology

• The requirement– THE PDF-417 must be used– A second MRT may be used in addition

• Provides mapping for the data elements– Name fields are the major changes– Length/type descriptions may vary from the

human readable ones

36


Optional machine-readable Technologies

• Magnetic Stripe– Unchanged from the previous standard– Does not include the new name fields

because of lack of space• Optional Optical Memory

– Unchanged from the previous standard

37


Whatever happened to?• Fingerprint Minutiae Annex

– Responsibility passed to ANSI M1– Their draft proposed standard is out

• Smart Card Annex– Became outmoded– We will develop when a jurisdiction

commits to implementation

38


Top 10 Changes to the DL/ID Card Design • 6. Vertical format for under 21• 7. The national designator “CDN” or

“USA”• 8. Pink or green background color in

Zone 1• 9. The heading “DRIVING LICENSE”• 10. The new standards for the portrait

39


Top 10 Changes to the DL/ID Card Design • 1. The OVD as the common Level 1

security device• 2. The mandatory PDF-417 barcode• 3. Requirement for a minimum number of

physical security devices• 4. The new name fields• 5. The use of layout zones

40


Changes• Group formed to review and maintain the

document• Likely changes include

– Vertical format optional for Canadian jurisdictions

– Date formats– Resolve language issues
