When created, any credential can now contain information on: The "Issuing Authority", ie the training organization where the credential was earned "Notes" containing additional information, such as a license number, or the specific [...]
Most CVS clients appreciate the convenience of our on-demand ID card printing service. They can order cards in batches or one-at-a-time, and high-quality professional photo ID cards are printed the same day and immediately delivered to them. Some of our other customers already have their own in-house ID card printing capability. We encourage them to continue to use their existing [...]
