Verify government-issued mDLs

Easily embed mDL (Mobile Driver's License) verification into your existing workflow to request more precise, government-issued identifiers. This ensures higher data matching accuracy during the verification process without the friction of requesting the submission of physical documents.

How It Works

Dock’s mDL verification feature allows organizations to securely and accurately verify government-issued digital IDs in real-time. Dock’s API handles the complete lifecycle of mDL verification—from generating the QR code to receiving and verifying the credential data.

Create a Verification Request

The verifier creates a verification request using Dock’s web app or REST API. This request generates a QR code that users can scan with their mDL wallet. Once the QR code is scanned, the user can submit their mDL for verification.

mDL Presentation and Data Sharing

After scanning the QR code, the user submits their mDL, selectively sharing the necessary information (e.g., name, address, date of birth) without disclosing additional personal data. The mDL data is securely transmitted to the verifier.

mDL Verification

The mDL is verified through Dock’s platform, which ensures that the credential was issued by a trusted authority (e.g., a government agency) and has not been tampered with.

Real-Time Feedback

The verifier receives real-time feedback, confirming the authenticity and validity of the mDL. This ensures quick, reliable identity verification, reducing onboarding friction and streamlining the process.

Increased Data Accuracy - Without Adding Friction

Verifying government-issued mDLs ensures a higher level of data accuracy by relying on government-issued identifiers without having to request the submission of a physical document. This improves customer data matching and reduces false positives during the verification process.

Enhanced Security and Fraud Prevention

mDLs are cryptographically secured and harder to tamper with compared to traditional forms of ID. This reduces the risk of identity fraud and ensures that only authentic, government-issued credentials are verified.

Compliance with Global Standards

Dock’s mDL verification adheres to international security and privacy standards, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and providing a secure verification process that protects user privacy.

Easy Integration with API and Web App

Dock’s REST API and Web App make it simple to integrate mDL verification into your existing onboarding flow. Whether you’re working with an app or web platform, the solution is flexible, scalable, and easy to deploy.

Faster Verification

mDLs are easier and faster to verify than physical documents. By embedding mDL verification into your workflow, you can speed up onboarding and improve overall efficiency.

Improved User Experience

By verifying mDLs, organizations provide users with a more seamless and secure experience, reducing the need for repetitive manual data entry or document submission.

Why Now

Gartner predicts that 500 million users will have Digital ID Wallets by 2026.

In the US, the momentum is growing rapidly. Thirteen states have already rolled out mobile digital driver’s licenses (mDLs), and many more are testing the waters. These government-issued digital IDs offer game-changing benefits: enhanced privacy, smoother online transactions, and a streamlined process for everything from opening a bank account to securing a loan.

As mDLs and other digital ID solutions become more widespread, they are paving the way for faster, more secure identity verification. For ID companies still reliant on paper-based verification methods, this shift signals an urgent need to adapt. Digital ID initiatives are reshaping the identity verification landscape, and businesses that embrace these innovations will be well-positioned to meet regulatory demands and customer expectations in an increasingly digital world.
