Fraud Fighter™ Driver License UV Security Feature Reference Guide©

This reference guide has been developed to aid you in authenticating U.S. Driver Licenses. Used in combination with our patented UltraViolet Counter-feit Detector Products, the reference guide can help you to verify whether the appropriate UV security feature can be seen on driver licenses present-ed by customers during a transaction.Please follow the instructions your management has provided to determine which transactions require identity authentication. To authenticate a driver license, place the document under the UltraViolet Illumination. UltraViolet light of the proper wavelength will cause fluorescent security features to “glow”. These security features are created by the gov-ernment to enable businesses to verify identity documents.

Flip to the page containing the image of the license you are trying to verify. This booklet contains images of the most recent version of that state’s license as it should appear under UltraViolet light.

This State Driver licenses does not contain any fluorescent security features.
