THREE SEPARATE REPORTS ARE INCLUDED - A PLAN FOR REDUCING THE ABUSE OF BIRTH CERTIFICATION, MATCHING OF BIRTH AND DEATH RECORDS, AND RECOMMENDED FEDERAL GUIDELINES FOR IMPROVED DRIVER'S LICENSE SECURITY.
Abstract
IN THE FIRST REPORT, RECOMMENDATIONS ARE PRESENTED TO CURTAIL THE OBTAINING OF A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE OF ANOTHER PERSON OR THE ALTERATION OF SIGNIFICANT DATA ON SUCH A CERTIFICATE. THE SECOND REPORT DESCRIBES AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR COUNTERING FRAUDULENT APPLICATIONS FOR BIRTH CERTIFICATES OF DECEASED PERSONS. THE THIRD REPORT EXAMINES PRESENT PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE OF STATE DRIVER'S LICENSES AND STATE ID CARDS. THESE CURRENT PROCEDURES ARE FOUND TO BE VERY VULNERABLE TO FRAUD. STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF PHOTO-ID LICENSES ONLY.
