DL/ID Card Design Specification

DL/ID Card Design Specification• Approved by AAMVA Board at their

September Meeting • Published on AAMVA web site:

– www.aamva.org/Documents/stdAAMVADLIDCardSpecs_092003.pdf

• Supercedes AAMVA DL/ID-2000

3

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Overview• Conformance • Mandatory vs. Optional• Review of the Requirements• Maintenance of the Specification• Help with Interpretation and Problem

Reporting

4

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Conformance• Meet all mandatory requirements specified

– Directly– By reference– Including

• Annex A – Card Design• Annex B – Physical Security• Annex C – Security Device Index• Annex D – PDF-417 Bar Code• Annex E – Test Methods

5

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Requirements• Mandatory

– Must do it– Must implement as specified

• Optional– Choice whether to use it– If used, then implement as specified

• May add other features as long as they do no interfere with requirements

6

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Functional requirements• Evidence of the privilege to drive• Identification• Age verification• Address/residence verification• Automated administrative processing

7

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Three key concepts• Interoperability• Commonality• Security

8

DL/ID Card Design Specification

ISO Compatibility• Follow draft ISO standard for

International Driver License except when there is a strong business need to do something differently.

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Review of the Requirements

10

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Human Readable Data Elements• Gives details of data, format, and placement

– Data Reference – On card reference– Zone placement– Data element name– Definition– Card type– Filed maximum length/type

11

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Human Readable Data Elements• Must use either

– On card reference– Data element name

• Data element name– May abbreviate, but– Use abbreviation given is one is supplied

12

DL/ID Card Design Specification

The Name Fields• Family Name• Given Name• Name Suffix

13

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Numbers• Customer Number

– Previously the DLN• Document discriminator

– Specific instance of the document issued to that customer

• Audit information– When, where and by whom made

• Inventory control number– Affixed to raw materials

14

DL/ID Card Design Specification

The Card Layout

15

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zones• Used to tell where to put data elements• Improves common look across

jurisdictions• Preserves some individuality• Zone placement

– One, two, and three on front– Four and five on back

16

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Two basic layouts given• Horizontal – 21 and over• Vertical – under 21

– Only the front is vertical

17

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zone I• Provides much of the common look• Document type indicated by

– Text phrase– Background colors

• Issuing jurisdiction• Issuing country

18

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zone II• Most of the data elements• Digitized signature (one choice)

19

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zone III• The portrait

– Full-face for all– 70-80% of Zone Three

• Digitized signature (the other choice)

20

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zone IV• The common security device• Data elements, most explanatory or

overflow

21

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Zone V• The common machine-readable

technology (MRT)• A second MRT if used

22

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Physical Security• Used to recommend their use, but there

were no requirements• Now at least six devices are required

23

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Security Levels• Level 1 – unaided human senses• Level 2 – some type of tool needed• Level 3 – forensic

24

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Threat types• Type 1 – counterfeit/simulation• Type 2 – alteration• Type 3 – photo/signature substitution• Type 4 – counterfeit from cannibalized

card

25

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Physical Security Requirements• The common security device• One level three device• Four other devices for level one and two

26

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Common security device• An Optical Variable Device (OVD) • Always in Zone 4 (back of the license)• Primarily a Level 1 device, but will have

some Level 2 features• More on the OVD later

27

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Level 3 Requirement• Must have at least one• Keep out of public record• Details known only to those with need to

know• Shared only with accredited law

enforcement labs

28

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Level 1 & 2 requirement• Minimum of four devices• Protect against all for threat types at both

levels• Do not count the OVD or the PDF-417

29

DL/ID Card Design Specification

DL/ID Device Index (Annex C)• Lists of physical security devices

– Description of the device– Threat type protected by level

• This annex is informative• The actual protection will depend on how

the device is used

30

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Goals for the OVD• Simple, recognizable design• Difficult to copy or simulate • Easily learned methods of validation

31

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Production of the OVD• Multiple sources, but• All from a single origination • So all look exactly the same

32

DL/ID Card Design Specification

OVD Task Force Plan of Action• First RFP

– Focused on Origination• Second RFP

– Will ensure multiple producers

33

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Progress of the OVD Task Force• As a result of the first RFP, AAMVA is

working with De La Rue to complete a contract for the origination

• The design may be announced at the AAMVA International Conference in August

• Expect to issue the second RFP later this year

34

DL/ID Card Design Specification

OVD Features• The Task Force is strongly considering these

features for the OVD:– Level 1 (visible to naked eye)

• 3-D art work• Parallax clue• Flip image

– Level 2 (needs a tool)• Microtext• Feature that uses a special light source, such as laser or

ultraviolet

35

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Mandatory Machine-Readable Technology

• The requirement– THE PDF-417 must be used– A second MRT may be used in addition

• Provides mapping for the data elements– Name fields are the major changes– Length/type descriptions may vary from the

human readable ones

36

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Optional machine-readable Technologies

• Magnetic Stripe– Unchanged from the previous standard– Does not include the new name fields

because of lack of space• Optional Optical Memory

– Unchanged from the previous standard

37

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Whatever happened to?• Fingerprint Minutiae Annex

– Responsibility passed to ANSI M1– Their draft proposed standard is out

• Smart Card Annex– Became outmoded– We will develop when a jurisdiction

commits to implementation

38

Top 10 Changes to the DL/ID Card Design • 6. Vertical format for under 21• 7. The national designator “CDN” or

“USA”• 8. Pink or green background color in

Zone 1• 9. The heading “DRIVING LICENSE”• 10. The new standards for the portrait

39

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Top 10 Changes to the DL/ID Card Design • 1. The OVD as the common Level 1

security device• 2. The mandatory PDF-417 barcode• 3. Requirement for a minimum number of

physical security devices• 4. The new name fields• 5. The use of layout zones

40

DL/ID Card Design Specification

Changes• Group formed to review and maintain the

document• Likely changes include

– Vertical format optional for Canadian jurisdictions

– Date formats– Resolve language issues
