A spike in license fraud at Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration branch offices that serve immigrant and illegal alien license applicants has prompted state officials to seek emergency regulations to tighten licensing standards, an agency spokesman said yesterday.
MVA spokesman Buel Young said overall license fraud at the agency has increased 253 percent, from 146 cases in 2003 to more than 515 last year.
Mr. Young said the increases "are more significant" at the 10 MVA branches that serve foreign-born license applicants, who sometimes try to obtain licenses by presenting fake documents.
