• With this new three-year contract, Arizona becomes the 18th jurisdiction in North America to have partnered with �׻��������� for best in class driver’s license and ID solutions.
• The new driver's licenses and ID cards will be available starting in March of 2023 and will be compatible with the Arizona Travel ID requirements.
• Arizona issues over 1.9 million driver’s licenses or ID credentials annually, and joins an increasing number of jurisdictions in North America to switch to �׻���������’ 100% Polycarbonate cards – resulting in more durable and secure cards.

The Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (MVD), has awarded �׻��������� a three-year contract to upgrade the security features and redesign the appearance of Arizona driver’s licenses and ID cards.

Arizona MVD and �׻��������� will collaborate on card design elements that bring superior security and are very difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. ​ Namely Multiple Laser Image (MLI) with alternately visible data elements, and two unique �׻��������� features, Dynaprint and Edge Sealer. Dynaprint uses multiple high-resolution images and fine line printing for an image flipping effect. While Edge Sealer laser-engraves specific data on the card’s edge to form an additional bond which is extremely difficult to reproduce.

Along with the new design, Arizona will join several other �׻��������� partner jurisdictions in North America that have switched to cards made from 100% polycarbonate, a more durable material extending their usage lifecycle. Cards made of polycarbonate cannot be altered without visibly damaging the card, which is key to detect counterfeited documents.

“These next generation identity credentials provide Arizona residents, businesses and state officials with stronger security for driver’s licenses and ID cards, allowing for quicker validation,” said Tony Lo Brutto, Executive Vice President for �׻��������� Identity and Biometric Solutions in North America. “�׻��������� is pleased to partner with the Arizona MVD, leveraging our key strengths and expertise in reliable and secure ID solutions.”

�׻��������� offers tailored solutions that help jurisdictions better serve their citizens. In addition, �׻��������� has Central Issuance capabilities in North America to securely manage the citizens’ personal data when personalizing the drivers’ license.

“With ID fraud continuing to increase and become more sophisticated, we’re excited to partner with �׻��������� to ensure our Arizona credentials become one of the most secure in the nation,” said Eric Jorgensen, Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division Director. “We look forward to providing another innovative product for the Arizona communities where we serve and live.”
