A mobile driver’s license (mDL) is a type of cryptographically verifiable digital credential that you hold in a digital wallet on a mobile device. You can now issue and verify mDLs in Indicio Proven — along with other popular credential formats and communications protocols.
A mobile driver’s license (mDL) is a digital credential built on the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard. It is stored directly on a user’s device, can be verified cryptographically, and works in both online and offline settings using Bluetooth or NFC.
This means you can digitally verify someone’s identity without relying on real-time access to a central database or system. This also means you can carry a government-issued credential in your mobile wallet and present only the specific data needed for a given interaction, such as confirming your age or license status. These credentials are self-contained, shared with consent, and designed to protect privacy.
Indicio Proven is the easiest way for organizations to issue and verify mDLs with minimal friction and helps you establish a foundation for portable digital identity while reducing fraud and supporting regulatory compliance while allowing individuals to manage their own identity information.
How to Issue and Verify mDLs with Indicio Proven
- Select your deployment approach
Choose Indicio’s hosted option or deploy Indicio Proven within your own infrastructure. Both support quick integration with your existing systems. - Define your credential schema
Start with the ISO 18013-5 mDL schema or customize it with region-specific or sector-specific fields such as military service, donor status, or endorsement codes. - Add document verification
Use one of Indicio’s partners, like Regula, to validate documents and biometric data before issuing digital credentials. - Issue to a secure mobile wallet
Once the identity is verified, Proven issues the mDL directly to a wallet controlled by the user. The credential stays on their device and under their control. - Support flexible verification
Enable verification online through APIs or offline through NFC or Bluetooth. The system respects consent and limits data exposure by design. - Scale to meet future needs
The same infrastructure can issue and verify other credentials, including travel credentials, health records, and proof of residency. No additional systems are required to expand.
