Check Your Driver’s License
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA
[Editor-in-Chief]
WARNING: Did you know that identity theft and physician targeted automobile scams are all the rage.
According to recent FBI reports, and the National Motor Vehicle License Organization [NMVLO], now you can see anyone’s driver’s license on the Internet, including your own! And, medical professionals are the targeted group of choice.
The FIA Culprit
The United States amendment to the Freedom of Information Act, enacted on September 3rd 2008, provides public access to motor vehicle driver’s information in an e-format. Under the Motor Vehicle Operator License Identification Act (MOLIA), all US states are required to adhere to the Driver’s statute and store an electronic copy of all valid drivers licenses in their state. And, they do their best to make all license photo’s searchable.
Want Proof?
I just searched for my driver’s license and there it was … picture and all. Thanks Homeland Security!
Go to the web site, and check it out. It’s unbelievable. Just enter your name, city and state to see if your license is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked “Please Remove.” This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.
