Mississippi Increases Driver’s License Issuance Workstations

  • Sep 29, 2008

L-1 Identity Solutions Inc., a provider of identity solutions and services, recently announced that the L-1 Secure Credentialing Division received a three and a half year, $5.9 million contract expansion from the state of Mississippi.

The contract calls for 51 complete new driver's license issuance workstations from L-1 to be used throughout the state's Department of Public Safety locations. Mississippi issues more than 750,000 licenses annually.

"L-1 has been a trusted partner to Mississippi for many years and the secure credentialing solutions they provide are an important element in our ability to provide citizens with a secure driver's license quickly and conveniently across the state," said Lt. Colonel Joseph L. Rigby, director of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. "L-1 has demonstrated the ability to easily scale to accommodate our changing needs and with our planned system upgrades and location expansions, L-1 will remain an important factor in our continued success."

The state uses an over-the-counter secure credentialing production system that processes and issues driver's licenses on the spot at bureau locations.

The integrated workstations from L-1 include L-1 ImageCams for digital portrait capture, personal computers, driver's license/ID card printers, fingerprint scanners, flatbed document scanners and signature pads and will help MS to quickly and securely process and issue valid driver's licenses. The new systems from L-1 will be used as part of an upgrade of existing systems across the network and to support new locations planned for the future.
