L-1 Identity Solutions Receives $27.6 Million from Multiple

U.S. States for Secure Driver’s License Solutions

Extension Options Would Add an Additional $16 Million

STAMFORD, Conn., Jul 08, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc, a leading

provider of identity solutions and services, was awarded contracts and contract extensions

from Delaware, Louisiana, Tennessee, Indiana and a State to be named at a later date, to

continue providing secure driver’s license solutions, bringing the total value of these contracts

to $27.6 million. Extension options in the yet-to-be-named State would add an additional $16

million. All of the awards were made to the Secure Credentialing Division of L-1.

A seven-year contract with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) includes a new

tamper evident card with various security features from L-1 embedded in the card to make

counterfeiting more difficult. The new system will integrate L-1’s document authentication solution

into the State’s workflow process to streamline transactions and provide an increased

level of confidence that applicant information is not fraudulent. Additionally, facial recognition

technology from L-1 will enable a comparison of a customer’s photo against the DMV’s database

of photos to detect fraud.
