Valid USA signs contract for Washington drivers’ license issuance
Rio de Janeiro, December 8th, 2015 - Valid Soluções e Serviços de Segurança em Meios de Pagamento e Identificação S.A.
(“Company”) (BM&FBOVESPA: VLID3 ON), is pleased to inform its shareholders and the market in general that the Washington
State Department of Licensing, in the United States, has awarded the contract for a new enrollment and central issuance
system for drivers’ licenses and identification cards to its subsidiary Valid USA.
The project planning and development will start in January, 2015, with enrollment and card production starting in August of
2016. Under the 5-year enrollment and card production contract, Valid will manufacture and issue approximately 1.7 million
secure credentials each year. Valid USA will manufacture and personalize traditional driver's licenses and enhanced drivers’
licenses (enhanced drivers’ licenses are a convenient alternative for entering the United States from Canada, Mexico or the
Caribbean through a land or sea port of entry, in addition to serving as a permit to drive).
The services Valid will provide as part of this contract include: secure card manufacturing, card personalization and issuance,
facial recognition, photo capture, and gated issuance. The implementation of these services will be primarily through the use
of Valid’s proprietary browser-based enrollment, workflow management, facial recognition, and card printing software called
WebLink ID.
“We are very pleased to be selected by the Washington State Department of Licensing and for our Company it’s an important
step demonstrating we are a relevant player in the US market,” said José Roberto Mauro, Valid’s CEO.
“We are looking forward to working with Valid to continue improving the security of our licenses and ID cards and make our
issuance processes more efficient,” said Pat Kohler, Director of the Washington State Department of Licensing.
