Have you ever used your device to:

• Electronically transmit a signal to pay/validate?

This, for all intents and purposes is the first step to Electronic Credentials…

• Print a document?

• Electronically send or receive a picture or document?

• Show someone a picture or document?

What is an Electronic Credential?

Is it???• A credential sent electronically to print and carry?

• An electronic copy of credential presented to

requesting parties using an electronic device?

• An electronic copy of credential to download and

electronically forward to requesting party?

• Electronic credential to a transponder?

What is an Electronic Credential?

ANSWER: All of the above could be true… they are not mutually exclusive options

As advances continue in electronic documentation and transfer, the IRP

and Motor Carrier Communities should strive to keep pace

Electronic CredentialsAlready in Practice

• Insurance Companies: E-cards• 23 jurisdictions have passed e-card

acceptance laws o AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA,

ME, MN, MS, ND, OR, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WY• PrePass system

Goal of Electronic Credentials?

• Ease of transfer and accessibility• Minimize turn around time for physical

(paper) credentials• Increase efficiency at roadside stops• Electronic (online) verification will

ultimately provide real-time information

But what about Electronic Credentialing?

What’s the difference?

Electronic Credentialing also called On-line Processing

•39 Jurisdictions have an on-line system

•Functionality and user access varies from Jurisdiction to Jurisdiction

•Covers most IRP transactions•New, Renewal, Add/delete vehicles, add jurisdictions
