Identity theft profoundly affects the public and private<br />
sectors worldwide. In 2013, according to Javelin Strategy<br />
and Research, one incident of identity fraud occurs<br />
every 3 seconds in the United States. Clearly, there is<br />
a growing need for reliable identity document verification.<br />
However, verifying identity documents is becoming<br />
increasingly more complex. Public and private administrations<br />
face the challenge of detecting suspected fraud<br />
on various types and versions of documents (passports,<br />
identity cards, driver’s licenses, etc.) from an array of issuing<br />
countries. <strong>The</strong> California Department of Motor Vehicles<br />
made it a priority to address this issue head-on by<br />
implementing an advanced solution through Gemalto,<br />
the world leader in digital security. In July <strong>2015</strong>, the California<br />
DMV selected Gemalto as the choice provider of<br />
identify document verification software to its nearly 200<br />
field and investigative offices. <strong>The</strong> California DMV issues<br />
thousands of ID documents every day and places a high<br />
premium on securing the integrity of an identity. Reliable<br />
verification is vital for the DMV in order to combat<br />
identity fraud and related criminal activities. Gemalto’s<br />
Coesys Document Verification software solution successfully<br />
allows DMV officials to verify the authenticity of<br />
documents such as passports, identity cards and driver<br />
licenses by simply checking the graphical data and security<br />
features against reference templates from an array of<br />
issuing countries. <strong>The</strong>se reference templates are stored<br />
in a database, administrated centrally and automatically<br />
synchronized into all local repositories. With Coesys<br />
Document Verification, each document type and version<br />
