The safety and privacy concerns of storing your driver's license in a digital wallet
They can reveal less information than a physical card, but privacy protections don’t necessarily follow your data after you it.
AI Summary
A digital wallet can hold a mobile driver’s license (mDL) that contains digitally signed data, allowing a compatible reader to verify its origin from the issuing authority. The mDL does not store a photo of the physical card on the phone. While the digital format can reveal less information than a physical card, the privacy protections for the data do not automatically follow the user after it is stored.
