Colorado partners with MIDS, a Gemalto company, to provide a complete solution for secure polycarbonate identity credentials
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AMSTERDAM, May 16, 2016 - Marquis ID Systems (MIDS), a Gemalto Company, was
awarded a six year contract by the Colorado Department of Revenue's Division of
Motor Vehicles (DMV) to provide a turnkey driver license and identification
(DL/ID) card production system.
Today, Colorado is leveraging MIDS' comprehensive issuance solution that
includes document scanning and authentication plus photo, signature, as well as
fingerprint capture and verification. MIDS is also providing Colorado with its
robust central issuance and personalization solution of highly secure
polycarbonate driver licenses, instruction permits, and identification cards.
MIDS experts worked with the State of Colorado and its nearly 60 state and
county offices to facilitate the transition with operational and educational
trainings for DMV operators and local law enforcement.
For Colorado, it was important to design this new credential with security
features that are easy to authenticate without the need for special equipment.
Colorado decided to transition to a polycarbonate based credential for its
advanced security features.
As driver license identity fraud is a continuing concern, Colorado is bringing
its citizens one of the industry's most secure credentials: polycarbonate
technology allows the images and the text to be laser engraved into the card
body. With Sealys Window Lock, the card also contains a secondary card holder
portrait in a see-through window, making it virtually impossible to counterfeit
or compromise.
"MIDS' technology helped improve our systematic procedures making the workflow
process easier for our operators," said David Lindsay, Driver's License
Operations Director at the Colorado DMV. "The protection of our citizens'
identities is our utmost concern and with MIDS we have taken great strides in
improving the security of the credentials we issue."
"Working with Colorado DMV, we held a Collaborative Design Forum to recreate the
famous Rocky Mountains picture card background using the most sophisticated
document security features for their new polycarbonate credential," said Steve
Steigmeyer, Vice-President of MIDS. "We believe that the benefit in using
polycarbonate for Colorado's credentials is twofold: a more secure form of
identity in addition to an extended duration of the credential."
