Trust Stamp Inc. has entered into a partnership with IDetect, a leading provider of ID scanning and entrance security solutions, to give IDetect’s customers access to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) Driver’s License Data Verification (DLDV) service. The integration will allow IDetect’s hardware and software products to verify driver’s license information against official DMV records in real time, adding a second layer of authentication beyond traditional document security checks. The DLDV capability is expected to process millions of verifications per month, supporting venues such as hotels, casinos, and government facilities.
While the partnership signals a strategic expansion for Trust Stamp, the company’s financial health remains a concern. Recent analyses indicate that Trust Stamp is operating with negative profit margins and declining revenue, and its Altman Z‑Score is –9.41, a figure that signals high risk of financial distress. These challenges underscore the importance of the partnership as a potential revenue driver, but also highlight the need for careful monitoring of the company’s financial trajectory.
Andrew Gowasack, President of Trust Stamp, said: "IDetect has been a staple of the security industry for a quarter‑century, protecting everything from nightclubs to federal agencies. By integrating our AAMVA DLDV access, we are empowering IDetect to move beyond document 'authentication' and into true 'data verification.' Given their diverse customer base and significant scale, this represents a major step in our mission to provide accessible, government‑backed identity trust across the physical and digital worlds." Michael Sengstaken, CEO of IDetect, added: "For 25 years, IDetect has led the way in entrance security and liability reduction. Our customers, including some of the world's most recognized hospitality and government institutions, demand the highest level of certainty. Working with Trust Stamp to provide DLDV access allows us to offer an unmatched level of security."
The partnership positions Trust Stamp as a key technology provider in the identity verification space, differentiating it from competitors that rely solely on physical document checks. By integrating government‑backed data verification, IDetect can offer its clients a more robust solution, potentially increasing adoption in high‑risk sectors such as hospitality, gaming, and government facilities. The expected volume of millions of verifications per month could translate into significant recurring revenue, but the lack of specific revenue projections means the financial upside remains uncertain at this stage.
Investors have historically reacted cautiously to such announcements, citing Trust Stamp’s financial challenges. The pattern of negative 24‑hour price reactions to positive news suggests that while the partnership is strategically valuable, market sentiment remains wary of the company’s underlying financial health.
