Oklahoma Rolls Out New Driver License and Upgraded Issuance System by MorphoTrust USA
OKLAHOMA CITY --(Business Wire)--
The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety today is launching a newly
designed driver license and driver license issuance system supplied by
MorphoTrust USA, which provides driver license issuance solutions for 41
states and the District of Columbia.
"The new license meets rigorous security requirements and will not only
upgrade our system but enhance customer service as well," said Michael
C. Thompson, Commissioner for the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
MorphoTrust CEO Bob Eckel said the process of upgrading the systems and
rolling out the new license design is proceeding as planned. "We're
pleased to continue our strong partnership with Oklahoma's Department of
Public Safety," Eckel said. "The changes will help achieve the goal of
'one person, one identity,' to address the problem of multiple identity
fraud.
"In addition, we plan to assist the state in its outreach efforts to law
enforcement, so that officials will know about the changes to he card's
layout and easily recognize key elements so that they can more easily
spot fake IDs."
The state's veterans will benefit from the new license, as starting in
November they will have the option of including a veteran's insignia on
their card, making it easy to spot Oklahoma drivers who have served
their country.
Oklahoma will begin pilot testing the new license and planned upgrades
in Edmond, OK. Deployment throughout the state is scheduled to start
approximately two weeks later.
