Maryland also chose Gemalto's Coesys Issuance Solution to personalize and produce resident's driver's licenses and ID cards on-site within MVA's secure, state-of-the-art issuance center. Gemalto's central issuance solution fully aligns with Maryland's goal of maintaining REAL ID 1 compliance while offering additional security benefits. The central issuance of driver's licenses and ID cards further enhances security by limiting access to card materials, equipment and personal information. According to the Bureau of Justice in 2014, 17.6 million U.S. residents were impacted by identity fraud. One of the key components of reducing identity fraud is creating a stronger and more secure form of identification.
