Overview of the Mobile Driving License

The podcast episode discusses the Mobile Driving License (MDL), an ISO standard that has the potential to impact the daily life of everyone. The MDL is a family of standards that enables government issuers, such as departments of motor vehicles, to provision official driving licenses to a person's mobile device in app form. By conforming to these standards, mobile driver's licenses can become equivalent to plastic driver's licenses, recognized by law. The MDL standard is supported by international associations of motor vehicle administrators and is expected to become a dominant structure used by government issuers worldwide. Actual production deployments of MDL apps and issuance services are already taking place in various states.
