Abstract:
A driver's license is in the form of a rigid plastic card similar to charge cards issued by bank and saving and loan institutions, e. g. , Visa and MasterCharge cards. The owner of the driver's license has his or her photograph on the front side of the card in addition to standard identification indicia, such as the driver's license number, name and address. The owner's signature appears on the front or backside of the card, along with a machine and computer readable magnetic tape adapted to store and reveal additional pertinent information relating to the owner. For example, such information may include the owner's social security number, previous traffic citations, credit rating, information relating to automobile insurance, etc. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, a numerical and/or letter code is imprinted on the card to depict the class and type of information available on the magnetic strip.
