The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is using the United States Postal Service® Electronic Postmark® (EPM) in conjunction with digital signature technology, to simplify the process of certifying driver records to be admitted as evidence in court proceedings. Indiana is the first state in the nation to offer the USPS EPM® service within the state court system. In recognition of the program, the Indiana BMV won the 2004 Digital Government Award for the most innovative pilot/prototype program or service. The annual award, presented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university, and sponsored by Accenture, a worldwide provider of consulting, technology services and outsourcing, recognizes technological innovations among federal, state and local government and higher education. Implementation of the USPS Electronic Postmark system is the result of a joint effort between the state of Indiana and the private sector. The USPS Electronic Postmark solution was developed by AuthentiDate. GeoTrust provides digital signatures as the registered Indiana certificate authority. The BMV's digitally certified driver license record service is offered through accessIndiana (www.IN.gov), the state's official Web portal that is managed by Indiana Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of eGovernment firm NIC (Nasdaq:EGOV - News).
