Driver’s License

A driver’s license is an official government-issued identity document that authorizes an individual to operate motor vehicles and serves as a primary proof of identity. In addition to permitting driving, it is widely accepted for identity verification in financial services, travel, employment, and age-restricted transactions. Driver’s licenses contain personal details such as name, date of birth, photograph, signature, and a unique identification number, often supported by security features like holograms, barcodes, or magnetic stripes to prevent forgery.For banks, fintechs, insurance providers, and telecom companies, driver’s licenses are commonly used during customer onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. Digital verification processes increasingly use optical character recognition (OCR) and biometric technologies to extract and authenticate license data. Since driver’s licenses are issued at state or regional levels, formats and security features vary, making reliable verification solutions essential for preventing fraud and ensuring compliance.
