Gemalto announced that the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) has begun rolling out its new secure and redesigned driver’s license and identification (ID) card across the state.
The polycarbonate-based driver’s license gives Maryland residents a tamper-resistant credential that reduces document forgery and protects against identity fraud. Maryland selected Gemalto’s line of Sealys Secure Documents for the new polycarbonate driver’s license, which includes laser-engraving, hidden security elements and tactile features specifically designed to improve document security.
The material’s durability also increases the longevity of the driver’s license, fulfilling a state requirement to extend the document’s validity period to eight years.
“With Gemalto’s expertise, we were able to provide Maryland residents with the most secure card in the nation,” said MVA administrator Christine Nizer.
