Clerus Helps Kentucky Develop a Strategy for Improving Their Driver License Issuance Business

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has taken a leadership role with respect to improving the integrity and security of driver licenses and ID cards. This is no easy task. With 120 county offices involved in the Kentucky issuance process and the political attention, both locally and nationally, that this industry is receiving, developing a strategy that moves Kentucky forward is a challenge. Clerus Solutions has worked closely with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the University of Kentucky to map out strategies, develop gap analyses, and define organizational and procedural concepts of operation that are necessary to provide driver licenses and ID cards that are more reliable and secure to Kentucky residents. Clerus Solutions can leverage the work done in Kentucky to assist other jurisdictions with their planning needs. Please contact us if your organization has a similar need.

Standards & Best Practices

Standards and Best Practices provide the building blocks for achieving interoperability between partners that wish to exchange data. With over 20 years of standards setting experience, Clerus Solutions can help these data exchange partners develop standards and best practices that achieve their business objectives.

Implementation of standards and best practices, especially those developed by others, can be a challenge. All parties that wish to exchange data have the best of intentions to implement programs according to the defined rules, but interpretation of the written word varies and can inhibit successful data exchange. Clerus has expertise that can guide parties though the implementation and operation process, ensuring that the data exchange partners do indeed have the same interpretation of the standards and best practices that they want to use.

Organizations feel the need to ensure that their needs and preferences are considered during the development or revision of standards and best practices, but lack staff with the time to participate in the process. The Clerus Solutions staff has the experience to represent your organization in the development or revision of standards and to ensure your organization’s point of view is considered.

Security for Driver License Programs

The security of driver’s licenses and identification cards has become increasingly important in recent years. In this context, security relates to both the process used to issue the card and to the features on the card itself.

  • Security Features on DL/ID Cards. A secure DL/ID card results from the use of a set of security features in a layered approach to ensure that the key information is protected against a variety of threats. The Clerus Solutions staff was directly involved with the development of AAMVA’s DL/ID Security Framework, including the development of the DL/ID card design specifications. We have the expertise to advise your organization on a wide variety of security features and how to combine them to achieve the desired level of security.
  • Security for the DL/ID Card Issuance Process. A secure DL/ID issuance process requires good physical security and good internal controls. Physical security protects against external threats such as theft of equipment or card production materials. Internal controls protect against “insider” threats such as unauthorized issuance of cards in exchange for bribes. In addition to being directly involved with the development of AAMVA’s DL/ID Security Framework, the Clerus staff has significant additional experience providing security for sensitive information and materials. Our experience and expertise can help your organization achieve high levels of security that really work.
