DriversEd.com ID Security Features Fact Sheet

Every state sets its own standards for driver's licenses.  Certain security features are common: By design, absolutely none of these security features are incorporated into our app.

Take North Carolina, for example: in 2007, they were the first state to build in a so-called "optical variable device" or OVD, which contained codes, numbers, 3-D images, fluorescent images, and more.  Absolutely none of this is possible with our app. (http://apostille.us/news/nc_first_to_add_drivers_license_security_feature.shtml)  

In California, the following security features have been built into every license (http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/dl/dl627e.pdf):
•	Tactile date of birth and signature--not incorporated into our app, not possible with standard printers
•	Ultraviolet photo and date of birth of cardholder--not incorporated into our app, not possible with standard printers
•	Hidden watermark of the California brown bear, visible only when a flashlight is pressed against the back of the license--not incorporated into our app

In addition, the format of the California license has recently changed: drivers under 21 have a vertical, portrait orientation, whereas drivers over 21 have the standard horizontal, landscape orientation.  Our app outputs only in landscape format, regardless of the age entry.

Furthermore, the layout of each state's license is different than the layout given by our app.  The following other differences and discrepancies further confound any attempt to view our app as creating counterfeit ID:

•	Information font different
•	All fonts incorrect except state name
•	Color of fonts
•	Color of state logo
•	Color of expiration
•	Photo dimensions and placement
•	Seal dimensions and placement
•	DOB color
•	Layering of seals and images
•	No class info
•	Signature placement
•	Spacing of all license information
•	“Issue dates” on random state licenses
•	“Entitled to” in random state license 
•	No info at bottom or lens correction info
•	“Mock” and DriversEd.com logo appear twice in design, on bottom and below state logo
•	Patterns in background aren’t correct color or size in most cases
•	UNDER 21 ribbon
•	72 dpi

Note also that the app includes a disclaimer agreement: DriversEd.com never had any intention of creating an actual facsimile of a driver's license.
