Digital driver’s licenses feature advanced security measures that meet the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard, which establishes international specifications for mobile driver’s licenses. These systems use encryption, biometric verification, and secure mobile technology to ensure authenticity and prevent fraudulent use. Many states have partnered with established digital ID providers like IDEMIA and Thales to implement their mDL programs. The transition to digital credentials follows successful implementations in other states, including New York and New Mexico, where residents can now store their driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. The digital licenses enable real-time verification of credentials and streamline administrative processes for both citizens and government agencies. The technology also allows for immediate updates to license information and status changes.
