Nearly everyone in the United States and Canada interacts with these agencies whose reputation is linked with Patty and Selma from The Simpsons. The modern DMV isn't simply a place to get a card with your picture on it. They are arbiters of identity in these countries without national IDs. In this talk, Aphrodite will provide a unique inside view into the operations you don't normally hear about, such as facial recognition, the REAL ID Act's consequences, and high tech details of the plastic or polycarbonate cards in your wallet.

Aphrodite
The first thing **Aphrodite** (@1c75a) sought out when she first went online over 25 years ago was info on hacking. The second, info on identity documents, identity theft, and fraud. Her interest in IDs extends nearly 30 years, and involved educating merchants on spotting fakes and railing against practices now well known as vectors of fraud. She spent seven years working for an American DMV, during which time she obtained the unique view from the other side of the service counter at some of the country’s busiest offices. She currently works for a tech nonprofit in Canada.
