In this episode of The Future of Identity Podcast, I’m joined by Ajay Gupta, Chief Digital Transformation Officer of the California Department of Motor Vehicles, to discuss California’s groundbreaking mobile driver’s license (mDL) program. From its launch to current adoption trends and future ambitions, this episode provides a comprehensive look at how California is shaping the future of mDLs.
In this episode we explore:
- The adoption and growth rates of California’s mDL program, including demographic insights and usage trends.
- Where mDLs are being used today and the balance between Android and iOS wallet downloads.
- The promising potential of remote verification (online use of mDLs) and why Ajay sees it as the fastest-growing channel for adoption.
- Key lessons for other states, DMVs, and government agencies on engaging stakeholders and demonstrating ROI for mDL programs.
- Practical advice for driving adoption among businesses and other relying parties.
This episode is a must-listen for those interested in the future of digital identity, especially professionals working in government, transportation, or identity ecosystems. Whether you’re curious about the technical, policy, or adoption aspects of mDLs, there’s something here for everyone.
Enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to share it with others who would find value in this discussion!
