BioLink Biometrics Incorporated into Hawaii Driver License Program - BioLink announces the use of its fingerprint biometrics for the State of Hawaii’s Driver License Program. Incorporating biometrics into driver licenses was recently mandated in the “Minimum Standards for Driver’s Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes” issued by the Department of Homeland Security. A biometrically-enhanced driver license system aids in addressing the following key problems: (i) issuance of multiple licenses to a single driver; (ii) issuance of a single license to multiple drivers, and (iii) detection of counterfeited driver licenses. The Hawaii driver license system integrates fingerprint matching and facial recognition into the card issuance process, increasing the already stringent security measures currently in place. A driver requiring a duplicate or renewal license now must have previous finger and/or facial images validated before a new card is issued.
