DRIVER LICENSE MATERIAL

Driver License Security Features

Driver license security works best as a layered system, combining features that can be checked by the public, trained inspectors and compatible devices. We help authorized credential manufacturers and solution providers assess material compatibility for holograms, UV printing, microtext, guilloche, laser engraving, transparent windows, variable data and RFID/NFC. The goal is a manufacturable feature set aligned with the card body and issuance workflow—not imitation of any existing credential.

Definition

Driver license security features are layered visual, material, printed, digital and personalized elements used to support inspection, deter alteration and protect credential integrity.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Role in a secure credential

A balanced security design uses overt, covert and machine-readable elements with different inspection methods. Feature choice must also account for artwork control, registration, personalization and production repeatability.

RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

Build a connected security system

Security HologramsA security hologram is a diffractive optical feature that creates angle-dependent imagery and can be integrated into an overlay, laminate or card surface.
UV Security PrintingUV security printing uses inks or coatings designed to reveal controlled colors or patterns under a specified ultraviolet light source.
Microtext Security PrintingMicrotext is intentionally small printed lettering used as a fine-detail inspection feature on secure documents and cards.
Laser EngravingLaser engraving personalizes compatible polycarbonate layers by creating controlled marks within the card body rather than applying surface ink.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Equipment, temperature, pressure, dwell time, substrate and printing method should be reviewed before a construction is confirmed.

Prototype samples can be discussed for material and process evaluation. Sample scope and timing depend on the required customization.

Roll and sheet formats are available depending on the selected material, coating and downstream process.

Please share the application, material preference, format, dimensions, security features, equipment compatibility needs and estimated quantity.

Yes. Holographic, UV, microtext and other compatible features can be layered after a security and manufacturing review.
