National driver licence facial recognition solution (NDLFRS) enables sharing and matching of facial recognition-based identity verification data, using driver's license images.
The purpose of this system is to protect Australian people from identity theft, to manage and prevent crime, increase road safety and improve identity verification.
The system is hosted on a Department of Home Affairs platform, and it is part of the broader Australian government's Identity matching services (IMS) initiative.
The NDLFRS is hosted by Home Affairs on behalf of states and territories. Home Affairs is responsible for platform operation and security, while each jurisdiction retains control over their data within the system.
The NDLFRS centrally stores biometric templates created from facial images provided by states and territories. Each road agency retains complete control over the facial images and other identity information associated with their driver licences.
Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia have provided data into the NDLFRS with other states and territories to follow.
