Applying for a driving license in Singapore was previously time-consuming for the applicant and manpower-intensive for the Traffic Police (Traffic Licensing Branch).

To improve efficiency, convenience and fraud protection, the Singapore Police Force has deployed an electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) system that uses HID Global’s HID Lumidigm V-series Fingerprint Sensors to verify the identities of driver’s license applicants.

The HID Lumidigm biometric sensor’s patented multispectral imaging technology has helped improve identity-verification speed and efficiency as compared to their previous paper-based process, and its proven liveness-detection capabilities significantly diminish the risk of fraudsters compromising the eKYC system.
