Your license is a key. Find every copy.

237.7 million Americans hold a driver's license, and the DMV record behind each one is the base of their legal identity. States sell that data under federal law, vendors and police portals hold copies, and one stolen login can open the whole file. This briefing maps where driver data goes in every state and how BB2G locks it down.

Where identities are under attack

States are shaded by identity theft reports per 100,000 residents. Each glow is a documented DMV breach, outage, insider fraud case or driver-data sale; red marks breaches that exposed driver records.

The audit · DMV and identity

What the DMV holds, and everyone who gets a copy

The audit maps every system that stores driver and ID data in each state, and every buyer, vendor and network it flows to.

Where driver data goes

Data buyers

Insurers, employers, private investigators, resellers and data brokers buying under DPPA permitted uses.

Law-enforcement portals

Police and court access systems like Florida's DAVID, reached with officer logins.

Card and ID vendors

Companies that print licenses, capture photos and verify identity documents.

County offices

Tax collectors and county clerks who issue licenses on the state's behalf.

Election matching

Voter registrations checked against driver records and federal databases.

File-transfer software

Tools like MOVEit that moved Oregon's and Louisiana's entire files.

The fix · DMV and Identity Command

Lock the key, log every lookup

The failures on this map repeat: a stolen login, an insider with a keyboard, a vendor with a copy, a buyer nobody tracks. Each one gets a control.

Hardware keys for every portal

LATCHKEY FIDO2 keys for every officer, clerk and vendor login. A password on a personal phone can't open the file.

Watch the query volume

Unusual lookup patterns, like one account paging through records by ID, trigger a lockout and a review.

Two people to pass a test

Test results need two staff sign-offs, so one employee can't sell a license.

WAYBILL every bulk file

Every sale is logged with the buyer, fields, legal basis, price and redisclosures.

Who looked me up

Residents can see which agencies and buyers pulled their record and why.

Recall on breach

When a buyer or vendor is breached, the state knows which records they held and notifies those drivers.

Every copy has an ownerNo driver record leaves the state without a named recipient, a legal basis, a retention date and a destruction certificate.
Why identity breaks

A license passes through 20 hands. At 95% each, it's safe 36% of the time.

From the counter clerk to the card printer, the police portal and the data buyer, every handoff can leak or corrupt an identity. Move the sliders.

With BB2G, every handoff has a check that catches 99% of errors and stops the record instead of passing it on.
