Leach's Assembly Bill 2382 would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to photographically verify your identity before issuing a duplicate license.
Identity theft is a growing threat with devastating results.
We should ensure that the DMV is not an accomplice in this alarming crime. AB 2382 will require the DMV to compare current photo information on file with the likeness of the person requesting the duplicate driver license or ID card. Attached is a list of the documentation that can be provided as proof of identity when requesting a duplicate license. It is important to note that only one form, not necessarily photographic, is required. This would seem to be a simple, logical step, but unfortunately, the DMV does not always perform this check.
