Please note:

  • Presentation of a “USDOT / FMCSA” Driver’s license or “Registrant Identity Card” is fraudulent.
  • DISPLAY of a “USDOT” License plate on a motor vehicle is fraudulent. 
  • State laws relevant to driver’s license requirements and/or vehicle registration are broken when: 
    • A fraudulent driver’s license OR a self-generated “ID Card” is presented in lieu of a state issued driver’s license or presented as an official government issued form of ID.
    • A fraudulent License Plate is displayed in lieu of a valid state issued license plate.
