Challenge

Since the late 90's, the number of vehicles on the roads of Monterrey has more than doubled and identity theft was a growing concern. As previous licenses offered limited security features and were extremely vulnerable to fraud, the Instituto de Control Vehicular (ICV), a decentralized public body and part of the local government of the state of Nuevo León, requested a new scheme in order to completely restructure the existing system.

The new scheme had to offer a safe and secure way to make administration easier while reducing fraud and providing a reliable platform for safely sharing information amongst government departments.

The scheme should also comply with the official ID document requirements – to be accepted as proof of identity in banks and other institutions - and should take advantage of the latest technologies to be upgraded to include other future applications such as social security or eHealth card schemes.
