AAMVA Issues Mobile Driver License Digital Trust Service RFI
The American
Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) is pleased to share our Mobile
Driver Licenses (mDL) Digital Trust Service Request for Information (RFI). mDLs
hold immense promise across the public and private sectors in the digital
ecosystem, as they will dynamically provide assurance that they were created by
a trusted issuer and that the data provided is valid. The ability to
confidently use mDLs across geographies is critical to assuring their
wide-spread success. For this reason, AAMVA is investigating the role a
centralized service would play in enabling ubiquitous mDL trust.
The mDL Digital Trust Service RFI outlines the
concept and questions that will yield the insights to make an informed decision
about next steps. AAMVA is seeking responses from organizations that have
solutions and expertise that could support a future endeavor, referred to in
the document as Potential Service Providers. AAMVA also seeks replies from a
wide sampling of organizations across the digital identity ecosystem that have
a vested interest in mDLs, referred to as Interested Parties. Read
