observe the highest levels of privacy and compliance.
The first step in the process is identity discovery as
presented by the applicant. The second step is identity
verification. The process is accomplished by running it
through a series of algorithms to determine if the information
in-hand belongs to an actual person. The information
is checked against vast amounts of open source
data sets and confirmed by thousands of public records.
The final step is to authenticate that the applicant is in
fact the owner of the identity. This is done through a
quiz engine that tailors questions to the verified individual’s
public records and area demographics based
upon a multitude of data domains that are selected by
the agency. This process offers identity authentication
input options beyond just name, address and Social
Security Number, all of which can be easily falsified.
The ability to properly identify individuals applying for
driver’s licenses has a major impact on homeland security
and public safety. By resolving identities in advance
of issuing licenses, the California DMV Investigations
Division is helping to prevent criminal activities before
they occur.
