Entrust Datacard Continues Industry Growth in Driver’s License Programs

Continuous growth comes from company being able to offer an open, flexible architecture that helps promote security and provides options for customers issuing driver’s licenses


MINNEAPOLIS—(Aug. 26, 2015)—Entrust Datacard today announced that the company is continuing to see significant growth in the adoption of its driver’s license solutions throughout North America.  Entrust Datacard has recently been awarded numerous new driver's license programs – bringing the total to 25 states and provinces in which their solutions are implemented.  That number is projected to grow as government organizations recognize the benefits of implementing personalization and authentication solutions that help mitigate fraud, protect identities, and demonstrate service improvements to their citizens.

Entrust Datacard's driver's license projects span a wide range of delivery models, processes, and environments – which enables the company to continuously learn from the large base of projects and offer key insights to customers and partners for identifying key considerations and market drivers. For example, the company offers a variety of card security and durability features including, laser engraving, advanced color printing technologies, and custom laminates that feature unique tamper evidence and unsurpassed adhesion.

"Entrust Datacard continues to leverage its vast experience in government projects around the world with our global partner and system integrator network to offer the most advanced technologies that help governments solve complex identity card issues," said David Belchick, vice president of government marketing for Entrust Datacard. "Our solutions—which include best-in-class personalization, identity management software, secure supplies and support—deliver exceptional security and reduce fraud for government ID card programs including national IDs, travel documents, driver's licenses, smart IDs, healthcare IDs, and e-government applications.
