Veridos, a joint venture between Giesecke+Devrient GmbH and Bundesdruckerei GmbH, is supplying new driver licenses and ID cards to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety. The contract includes the annual production of more than three million cards at a secure, local issuance facility in Ohio. The driver license complies with Real ID and can be used as identification at all US airports and federal facilities. V
“We are very pleased to have been selected by the Ohio BMV for the new driver licenses and ID cards that stand for optimum quality and utmost security,” said Paul Mazzeo, president of Veridos America. “The cards are made of polycarbonate, a material that guarantees robustness and high durability. They are equipped with state-of-the-art security features. For example, bearer-related data is laser engraved into multiple layers of the card material. That delivers unequaled protection against manipulation, deterioration and counterfeiting.”
In addition, three photographs of the card’s holder are embedded: The primary black and white photograph on the front of the card is embedded using laser engraving technology. The secondary photo is also black and white and is laser engraved into a lenticular lens making it viewable depending upon the card tilt direction. The third photograph is a small color photo on the back of the card.
