AAMVA congratulates New Jersey on successfully implementing AAMVA’s State-to-State (S2S) Verification Service during the weekend of March 23, 2024, and becoming the 40th participant using the S2S service. All migration activities have completed on schedule. CDLIS and S2S services are fully operational now. AAMVA would also like to thank volunteer jurisdictions Oklahoma and Utah who assisted with New Jersey’s migration.
New Jersey will now be able to use SPEXS to perform both its CDLIS and S2S functions. This means, among other things, that New Jersey can track pointer information related to its Base Driver Licenses, Permits for Base Driver Licenses, and Identification Cards.
One of the benefits of S2S is that it is now possible to identify persons that hold credentials in different states at the same time. This includes the case where a CDL driver holds a CDL in one state and a non-CDL credential, e.g., a base driver’s license, in another state. S2S states typically resolve such situations by either deleting the non-CDLIS pointer, or by performing a CSOR on the CDLIS pointer. Such actions may be accompanied by telephone and/or email contact between the two states involved.
As a result of the increase in pointers, and consequently potential duplicates, when a state implements S2S and/or DHR, CDLIS-only and S2S states may for some time afterwards observe a higher than usual number of CSOR transactions emanating from the S2S state. Please consult the AAMVA website for a webinar on this topic (see “Overview of SPEXS Master Specification Format & Duplicate Pointer Processing” at https://www.aamva.org/).
AAMVA also congratulates Tennessee (TN) and Louisiana (LA) for successfully implementing the required Exclusive Electronic Exchange (EEE) changes and completing the EEE structured testing with AAMVA as of March 22, 2024. The structured testing with AAMVA certifies that TN and LA possess the capability to conduct electronic exchange of CDLIS driver history records, including the posting of convictions, withdrawals, and disqualifications.
