In this episode, I’m joined by Calvin Fabre, President and Founder of Envoc, a company that has been at the heart of mobile driver's license (mDL) innovation in Louisiana, a state leading the nation in mDL adoption. Calvin shares the fascinating story of how his company helped bring the country’s first digital driver’s license into reality, starting with a simple idea for a “digital glove box.”

We dive into a variety of topics, including:

- The journey from bidding on payment processing systems to developing a groundbreaking MDL system for the Louisiana DMV
- How Envoc navigated the complexities of legislation and law enforcement adoption to make digital driver's licenses legal for routine traffic stops
- The importance of user feedback in expanding the LA Wallet app to include hunting licenses, concealed carry permits, and even COVID-19 vaccine cards
- The unique role LA Wallet has played in verifying identity remotely, including for disaster relief and online age verification for adult content
- Insights on the future of digital credentials, from frictionless onboarding to the growing adoption of MDLs in industries like banking and retail

Calvin’s expertise offers a deep dive into the future of identity and digital credentials, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, law enforcement, and secure digital identification.
