Exhibit IV Credential Spreadsheet Data Elements.pdf

This document is a credential spreadsheet data elements exhibit for the State of Arizona's Department of Public Safety, establishing the technical specifications and requirements for various state-issued credentials and security-related cards. The exhibit outlines the mandatory and optional data elements required for multiple credential types, including unarmed and armed security guard cards, agency positions (qualifying parties, resident managers, and associates), instructor certifications (general and firearms safety), private investigator employee credentials, fingerprint clearance cards at multiple levels, concealed weapon permits, and certificates of firearms proficiency under the Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act (LEOSA). Each credential type specifies which data elements must be included, such as cardholder name, photograph, date of birth, physical description, registration/permit number, employer/agency information, and issue and expiration dates, with designations for required versus optional text fields and specific security features or restrictions as applicable.

The spreadsheet serves as a standardized reference guide for the production and issuance of credentials by DPS and related agencies, ensuring consistency and compliance across all card types. Security elements such as "Armed" designation, "Driving Restriction" notations, IVP (In-Person Verification) indicators, and level classifications for fingerprint clearance cards are specified as required text or optional text depending on the credential category. This exhibit document (BPM005734) functions as a technical specification for credential production vendors, particularly relevant to the state's offsite secure printing contract opportunity, by defining the exact data architecture and security marking requirements that must be incorporated into each credential type to maintain compliance with Arizona state regulations and federal standards such as LEOSA qualifications.
