2740-229 State to State Verification (S2S)
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) proposes to implement the State-to-State Verification Service (S2S) program. This program would enable DMV to limit a driver’s license or identification (DL/ID) card applicant to possessing only one REAL ID compliant or federal non-compliant (FNC) DL/ID card nationwide. The program would also enable DMV to share information with other participating states on all State issued DL/ID cards and to send requests to other States to terminate a DL/ID card. These processes would be performed electronically through the S2S program.

| Focus Area/Rating | Comments |
|---|---|
| Governance Green
|
Governance structures remain stable with executive oversight, sprint coordination, and cross-workstream management activities occurring regularly. Implementation deliverables and planning artifacts continued progressing through established project governance processes during the reporting period. |
| Time Management Green
|
Development progressed through additional sprint cycles including completion of Sprint 2 and Sprint 3 and initiation of Sprint 4. DMV provided CDT access to the scheduling tool on February 23, and CDT review of the integrated project schedule is currently underway to assess schedule structure and dependencies. |
| Cost & Contract Management Green

Development activities continue progressing within the scope approved under PAL Stage 4. Backlog refinement and requirements elaboration activities continued throughout February, supporting upcoming sprint development while maintaining alignment with the approved project scope. |
| Resources Green
|
Workstreams remain appropriately staffed across development, integration, and testing activities. Additional resources were added to support certain technical workstreams following early sprint workload analysis, and current resource levels appear aligned with delivery needs. |
| Quality Green
|
Development and testing activities continued progressing during the reporting period. Testing activities expanded alongside sprint delivery, and requirements traceability improvements were implemented to strengthen alignment between requirements, development artifacts, and testing validation. |
| Risk And Issues Green
|
No major unresolved issues or high-impact risks were identified during the reporting period. Integration and cross-workstream dependencies continue to be monitored through sprint planning and technical coordination meetings. |
| Transition Readiness Green

Organizational Change Management and transition planning activities continued progressing in alignment with the implementation phase. Stakeholder engagement and early transition planning activities remain appropriate for the current stage of project development. |
| Conditions For Approval Yellow
|
As of the February 2026 reporting period, of the five Conditions of Approval, two conditions are met: submission of the IV&V Monthly Status Reports and the Project Test Management Plan, which was submitted to CDT on February 10, 2026. The Integrated Master Project Schedule has been submitted and CDT received access to the scheduling tool on February 23, 2026; however, CDT’s assessment of the schedule structure and critical path is still in progress, and the condition remains partially met pending completion of that review. The updated Project Management Plans remain outstanding beyond the January 19, 2026 deadline. The Transition to Maintenance & Operations Plan will be due six months prior to the approved project end date. |
