Licenses and ID cards - $39.8 million

The Michigan Department of State has awarded a $39.8 million contract to L-1 Identity Solutions to centrally produce secure digital driver’s licenses and ID cards. All cards manufactured by the L-1 system will meet federal credentialing security standards. Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDLs) issued under the new contract will satisfy federal border crossing requirements under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). “We will be pleased to offer Michigan residents new licenses and IDs that further protect the identity of Michigan citizens,” - Terri Lynn Land, Michigan Secretary of State.
