AAMVA Verification

---

Overview

For US driver's licenses and state-issued ID cards, the platform cross-checks the data extracted from the scan against the issuing state's authoritative records through the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) network. This validates the license against the actual DMV record rather than against an expected document appearance.

What Gets Checked

When a US driver's license or state ID is scanned, the extracted attributes are matched against the DMV record for that license number. The response indicates whether:

• The license number exists in the issuing state's records

• The name on the scan matches the DMV record

• The date of birth matches

• The issue date matches

• The expiry date matches

• The license is currently valid (not suspended, revoked, or canceled)

A mismatch on any field - or a "no record found" response - produces a granular reason code that downstream systems can act on.

What It Does and Doesn't Tell You

• It confirms that the license corresponds to a real DMV record and that the submitted details match that record.

• It does not confirm that the person presenting the document is its rightful holder - the biometric and liveness checks provide that binding.

• Coverage varies by state. Not every state participates in every check, and some return an inconclusive result rather than a definitive match or non-match. Treat these per your risk model.
