DMVCheck Results & Interpretation

DMVCheck provides you with the real-time capability to verify ID information against data from the issuing agency by verifying that the ID exists and returning true/false for matches of the following ID attributes:

     -  Document Number
     -  State Code 
     -  First Name
     -  Middle Name
     -  Last Name
     -  Name Suffix
     -  Street
     -  City
     -  State
     -  Zip Code
     -  Issue Date
     -  Expiration Date
     -  Eye Color
     -  Height
     -  Weight
     -  Gender

A verification request may contain any or all of the listed attributes for verification. To ensure privacy, DMV Verification does not return the actual data, only true/false responses for each field. 

Color-coded DMVCheck results will appear on IDentiFake for ease of use and display "Result" and "Score" values. 

The "Result" field is a True/False response on whether the submitted ID matches DMV records overall. 

The "Score" field provides a more granular response, where matches for each of the ID's attributes are considered.
  1. Score values range from 0 to 100 -- a DMV record match for each ID attribute contributes to a higher score.
  2. A score of 0 indicates that no ID attributes matched DMV records
  3. A score of 100 indicates that all attributes matched
  4. A score value of 70 or greater provides a DMVCheck "True" result
    1. An example of a score between 70 and 100 could be a customer that has recently moved and has not updated their ID yet.
