Driver’s license no longer requires iris scan

Beginning last August the state of Sinaloa required applicants for a driver’s license to submit to an iris scan and the fingerprinting of all ten fingers.

According to Noroeste the Secretariat of Administration and Finance hired the company Solutions and Integrated Programs for the processing of 1.500 million drivers licenses for an amount of up to 205,320,000 pesos ($16,015,000).

Several residents of the state took the position that requiring such information was unconstitutional. The Editorial staff at Noroeste and an attorney, Jesús Estrada Ferreiro, separately filed amparos to stop these requirements.

The state Supreme Court has ruled in their favor, ending the expensive and intrusive licensing.
