Digimarc Biometric Identification
The Best Way to Stop Multiple License Fraud
Digimarc Biometric Identification is the best way for driver license issuers to work with law enforcement in the fight against identity theft and fraud — stopping hundreds of attempts to obtain multiple licenses each year.
Proven Solution to Stop Fraud
Developed from a decade of experience, Digimarc Biometric Identification has proven to reduce the time it takes to identify potential identity thieves from weeks or months to mere hours, even minutes, without compromising the rights or privacy of citizens. Digimarc Biometric Identification roots out multiple ID fraud and enables effective pre- and post-issuance investigation to identify suspected fraud and prosecute in the fastest, most efficient way possible. Investigators are armed with reports, complete with detailed demographics and case specifics for prosecution in court. Biometric Identification delivers all the essential tools needed to sort through thousands, sometimes millions, of images and conclude investigations fast.

Speeds Investigations with Accurate Results
Automatic batch comparisons of each day's applicants clearly identify the most likely attempts at fraud. Large, side-by-side comparisons make it easy to determine if photos are of the same individual. And, additional detail and applicant data are quickly obtained through the system's drill down capabilities and ability to initiate multiple queries. Law enforcement officials can also upload images from other external sources to support their investigations.
Helps Meet the Goal of "One Driver — One License"
Digimarc has successfully partnered with driver license (DL) issuers through every major transition in DL history, including the use of biometrics. Facial recognition is a highly effective tool in the fight against identity crime, and Biometric Identification provides the best delivery of this technology for driver license issuers. Biometric comparisons of new applicant portraits are run against the jurisdiction's image database nightly to uncover possible fraud. When implemented as part of a central issuance system, Biometric Identification supports gated reviews and prevents the issuance of more than one driver license to an individual. Cleared applicants are immediately forwarded for issuance, while suspects are forwarded to investigators for further review. Prioritized alerts enable the rapid sorting of suspect portraits to identify legitimate applicants so customer service is never impacted.

Scalable to process 10s of millions of images in a single installation, Biometric Identification fully meets the requirements of States of any size. Overnight batch processing automatically finds and prioritizes potential fraud for investigators with no impact on system performance or customer service. The system accesses stored portraits from your server and works behind the scenes so you never have to worry about service disruptions. Customer information is protected through security best practices, including encryption of all transmitted data and ensuring cached images and data are not left on the investigator's system.
