Mobile driver's licenses & digital ID with Verifiable Credentials
Issue mobile driver's licenses and digital IDs that residents truly control — verifiable in person or online, with the wallet of their choice, and without locking citizens to a government-approved app.
A state DMV issues a mobile driver's license. The resident keeps it in any conformant wallet they trust. At a bar, an airport, or a checkout, they prove they're over 21 — or that the license is valid — without handing over their full identity, and without the verifier phoning the state.
A good fit if…
- You issue identity or entitlement credentials to the public.
- You want residents to choose their own wallet, not an approved list.
- You need selective disclosure — prove a fact without revealing everything.
Why VCALM vs. the alternative
The OpenID-based, mdoc-centric approach often pairs with wallet "attestation" and allow-lists — the state, in effect, picks which apps citizens may use. VCALM keeps wallet choice with the resident and works natively with W3C Verifiable Credentials. See the full comparison.
