License Plate Reader Working Group

AAMVA convened a License Plate Reader Program (LPR) Working Group in 2021 to develop best practices in developing, implementing, and maintaining an LPR Program. The Working Group published the License Plate Reader Program Best Practice in October 2021. In March 2024, the AAMVA Law Enforcement Standing Committee (now Law Enforcement Committee), as part of its scope of duties, evaluated current best practices documents under the committee’s purview. The committee determined that this document was not only in need of updating, but that the emergence of AI technology, specifically in the LPR field, necessitates addressing the use of AI as part of an LPR program. 

This Working Group, based on input from members and technical advisors, will publish no later than September 30, 2025, the License Plate Reader Program Best Practices, Edition 2.
