  2. Introduction All around the world, biometrics are becoming more and more commonly used. Many countries are incorporating biometrics into their identification cards, law enforcement and other parts of society.

  3. In the United States • Real ID Act of 2005 • The REAL ID Act of 2005 is U.S. federal law that imposes certain security, authentication, and insurance procedures standards for the state driver's licenses and state ID cards, for them to be accepted by the federal government for boarding commercially operated airline flights and entering federal buildings and nuclear power plants

  4. What the REAL ID Act does • Changing visa limits for temporary workers, nurses, and American citizens. • Establishing new national standards for state-issued driver licenses and non-driver identification cards. • Funding some reports and pilot projects related to border security.

  5. Up to date with REAL ID • As of October of 2009: • 25 States have either approved the REAL ID Act, or have legislation in effect to not participate in the program.

  6. PASS ID Members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs introduced the Providing for Additional Security in States' Identification (PASS ID) Act of 2009 on June 15, 2009 Repeal substantive provisions of the REAL ID Act of 2005.

  7. PASS ID Requirements • For Application purposes, include documents with: • Full name • Date of birth • Gender • Person's driver's license or identification card number • Persons address of principal residence • Must allow facial digital image capture.

  8. State Of Maine

  9. Maine - For Real ID Bill: HB 1669 Summary: Requires proof of lawful presence to obtain driver’s license Status: Enacted Bill: SB 492 Summary: Refusal to comply Status: Vetoed by Governor

  10. Department of the Secretary of State The Department of the Secretary of State is the department that manages the identification and drivers licenses in the state of Maine. Maine's new digital driver's license has a new look and will open the door to new customer benefits.  The citizens of Maine will have the advantage of receiving a driver's license with superior quality pictures, state-of-the-art security features and a new attractive design in a high quality, tamper-proof card

  11. What is a Digital License The digital license is produced with computer technology that allows for your image to be captured digitally and displayed on the license.  This same process will be used to issue state identification cards. The digital system does not use a photographic process or film to take your picture.  Instead, a video camera and a computer are used to take your picture and produce the license.  Since the system is computer based, it has the ability to store your picture and signature on magnetic disk.

  12. Security Features State of the art security features make it nearly impossible for anyone to alter or copy your license.  The digital license provides for a number of security features including a small ghost photo image and an embedded hologram.

  13. Around the World Many countries outside the U.S. have begun using biometric technologies in their governments and other daily operations

  14. Conclusion Biometrics are prevalent in many countries, including the United States, and will continue to grow worldwide. Look for biometrics to be incorporated with state and country identification systems.
