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.
