*PLEASE NOTE: Copier and scanner technology changes on a daily basis, and we go to great lengths
to adjust our paper qualities to accommodate those changes. However NO paper is 100% safe against
ALL copiers and scanners. (Think MONEY) We make no representation that our SuperSecure papers
will defeat every copier and scanner on the market today.

AAMVA Standards
The AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) is a nonprofit
organization committed to enhancing safety and security through motor vehicle
administration and law enforcement.
Many, if not all, of the Administrators in the Departments of Motor Vehicles throughout the
United States are members.
The AAMVA has issued standards on the Security Features that are used on Certificates of
Origin. While these are SUGGESTED standards, most states use them as a guideline to
determine if a Certificate is Valid.
OUR CERTIFICATES MEET AND EXCEED THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS:

PAPER:
Sensitized Security Paper - Paper that is reactive to chemicals commonly used to alter
documents.
Non-Optical Brightener Paper - Paper that will not "light up" under Ultraviolet light.
ENGRAVING:
The border must be engraved. Engraving is achieved by putting ink on a heavy metal die and
pressing that die, using a lot of pressure - 2000 pounds, into the paper. The result is a slight
indentation on the back of the sheet, and a raised feel on the front. This is expensive.
INKS:
Prismatic - This is printing words by combining two or more inks in a random pattern so that
part of a letter or word is in one color and the rest of the letter or word is in another color.
Complex Color - A color that is made up of two or more of the primary or secondary colors (Red
and Blue, or Yellow and Green).
Fluorescent Inks - Inks that will "light up" under ultraviolet light.
ALTERATION DETERRENTS:
Erasable Fluorescent inks that react to attempts to erase by hand or by chemicals. The result
is a "smudge".
Background Security Pattern - A repetitious design that hinders counterfeiting efforts.
MicroText - VERY, VERY small lettering that requires a magnifying glass to read. (Unless you're
a teenager with super eyesight!)
Security Thread - A WaterMarked Security line or thread somewhere on the sheet. Visible from
both sides.
NUMBERING:
Consecutively Numbered sheets.
PAPER SIZE and Weight:
7 x 8 inches. 60# or heavier weight paper (Ours is 70# for longer durability.)
Type Size and spacing:
Text matter spacing is 1/6 inch deep (for standard 12 point type using your printer) and 1/10
inch horizontal. We do that!
