•  Identity Assurance

What Challenges Do DMVs Face Today?

State DMVs must balance identity verification, payment processing, and data reliability while navigating several key challenges:

What are the primary security risks
for DMVs?

Criminals increasingly exploit outdated systems, making identity fraud more complex and costly. This requires robust, modern identity assurance measures to protect citizen data and government resources.

Why is data maintenance critical for DMVs?

Without consistent data management, records can become inaccurate or outdated. This affects the quality of citizen services and limits an agency's ability to adopt new technologies like AI.

How does vital records verification impact DMV operations?

Paper-based processes for verifying birth certificates and other vital records slow down REAL ID compliance and create vulnerabilities for fraud. Digital verification is essential for speed and security.

What makes payment processing complex for DMVs?

Citizens expect fast, digital payment options. However, managing and reconciling multiple payment types (credit, debit, ACH) securely across different locations and online is a resource-intensive challenge.

How do citizen expectations affect DMVs?

People now expect the same seamless, digital experiences from government agencies that they receive from private companies. DMVs must deliver this high level of service while operating under strict budgets and compliance rules.
