Card-based technology must conform to standards of the American National Standards Institute.

Each card must contain the digital photographic image of the person to whom it is issued.

If the card is issued for purposes of financial transactions, it must be readable and usable by a portion of point-of-sale devices that are sufficient to guarantee reasonable access to benefits and services for card users.
