"To have the lowest costs and high security you want to have direct control over the materials and consumables that go into that driver's license card. This allows integration between the BMV personnel and our own system for the control of that material, so we know where it is in the system and can manage it throughout the process."

Carr said Digimarc will deploy the Microsoft .Net version of its driver's license issuance system, which allows for easy integration with the state's IT infrastructure and data center.
