The overwhelming majority of smartphone-owning Americans live their day-to-day lives with the world virtually at their fingertips. They can stay in touch with friends and family, buy and sell products and services across borders, and access a seemingly endless library of information and entertainment at the touch of a screen. But for most Americans, if they want to prove their identity, they still need to reach into their wallet and pull out a physical form of ID, even though the technology exists to upgrade this process. As more of Americans’ everyday activities move online, the lack of digital identity solutions becomes more of a problem. Countries around the world have forged ahead in offering digital ID, leaving the United States in the dust. Here at home, a handful of states have risen above the rest by offering mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs), but these efforts are uncoordinated and unavailable in most of the country. There is a better way, one spearheaded by a national initiative to ensure all Americans have access to convenient, accessible, and trustworthy forms of digital ID.
