RegTech provider iDenfy has unveiled a major upgrade to its identity verification platform with the launch of its U.S. Driver’s License Check answer, offering businesses instant access to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) database. The new integration enables real-time verification of U.S. driver’s licenses, enhancing Know Your Customer (KYC) workflows for industries where license validation is a regulatory or operational requirement.

The AAMVA-powered check allows companies in sectors such as car rentals, ride-sharing, logistics, and insurance to instantly confirm license authenticity during onboarding. The feature matches user data — including name, date of birth, license number, and expiration status — directly against official DMV records, ensuring that the license is genuine, valid, and unaltered.

With identity theft and license fraud on the rise — resulting in over $12.4 billion in losses in 2024 according to the FTC — the new integration is designed to close a major verification gap in digital onboarding.

The API-driven process ensures that businesses can confirm identity details in seconds — verifying licenses that are active, unexpired, and state-authorized before granting access or approving applications.
