I’m worried about having an RFID chip in my driver license. Won’t this allow people to steal my identity using a handheld scanner?

The RFID chip in the Enhanced Driver’s License will not contain any personal information; it would not aid an identity thief in any way. It will only contain a Unique Identifier (UID) that can be used to retrieve the cardholder’s information (including name and photo that was taken when the Enhanced 3-in-1 driver license or identification card was issued) from the secure AZ driver database. An identity thief would need to hack into the AZ driver database to get any information about an Enhanced 3-in-1 driver license or identification card cardholder, and if they could do that they wouldn’t need to obtain the UID from the RFID chip.
