DMV on pace to install new anti
fraud technology
DMV is on schedule
to install “facial recognition”
technology by the deadline
set by the 2005 O regon
Legislature. The agency is
tak in g the first step by
converting to centralized
issuance of driver licenses
and ID cards in the summer
of 2007.
U nder cen tralized
issuance, DMV will issue an
interim card to customers
who q ualify for O regon
driving privileges or an ID
card.
C u sto m ers
w ill
receiv e th e ir p erm anent
plastic card - produced and
mailed from a single location
instead of provided over-the-
counter at DMV field offices
- typically within five to 10
business days after their visit
to DMV. This is essentially
the same way that cards are
issued in C alifo rn ia ,
W ashington and 11 other
states.
The requirements for
obtaining driving privileges
or an ID card - such as
driving tests and proof of
identity and residency in
Oregon - will not change.
The interim card is
intended as proof that the
person has qualified at DMV
to obtain, replace or renew
a driver license, instruction
permit or ID card. Oregon
law requires people to carry
their driver licenses at all
times they are driving.
The interim card will
look like a black-and-white
copy of the final card, except
that it will be printed on
paper.
“DMV has informed
b u sin esses and o th e r
government agencies about
the interim card, and it is up
to those o rg a n iz a tio n s
whether to require additional
ID from customers,” DMV
Administrator Loma Youngs
said.
"W hile you are
waiting for your permanent
card , you may need to
provide additional ID for
b usiness tran sactio n s or
trav el. DMV sends you
renew al rem in d ers tw o
m onths
before
your
expiration date, so that you
can plan ahead.”
Police in Oregon will
be able to verify the data on
an interim card and an
in d iv id u a l’s
d riv in g
privileges electronically.
The centrally issued
permanent card will have the
sam e a p p earan ce and
security features as the card
that DMV has been issuing
over the counter since 2004.
“ M ailin g
the
p erm an en t card has an
a d d itio n a l a d v a n ta g e ,”
Youngs said. "It will make it
m ore d iffic u lt fo r non-
Oregon residents to obtain
an Oregon driver license or
ID card under a false address
because the final cards will
be m ailed to c u sto m e rs’
address on DMV records.
They cannot use a one-time
mailing address.”
The
state
law
requiring facial recognition
gave DMV until July 2008
to begin using the system,
and DMV will m eet the
deadline.
“The law will allow
DMV to issue a card only if
facial recognition software
finds no m atching photo
u n d er an o th er nam e in
D M V ’s
d a ta b a s e ,”
Administrator Loma Youngs
said.
“Under this ‘one-to-
m an y ’ co m p ariso n , the
applicant's photo will be
checked after business hours
against all photos on file,
including the d a y ’s new
customers.”
O nce
facial
recognition is in place, if the
one-to-m any check finds
that a c u sto m e r’s photo
appears similar to an existing
ph o to under a d ifferen t
name, it will alert DMV staff
of the possible match. If
there is a clear match, DMV
will not issue a permanent
card and instead will provide
in fo rm atio n
to
law
enforcement.
If it’s impossible to
tell whether two photos are
of the same person, DMV
will ask the custom er or
customers to return to DMV
w ith additional pro o f of
identity before issuing a final
card.
T his
fraud-
prevention law originated in
the 2005 Oregon Legislature
and is not related to the
federal Real ID Act.
