Vouched Leads Industry with First Web-Based Mobile Driver’s License Verification for Seamless IDV

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vouched, a leader in AI-powered identity verification, today unveiled the industry’s first web-based support for Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs) through Google Wallet—eliminating the need for a native mobile app and pioneering the next frontier in digital identity.

Digital credentials like mDLs are poised to replace physical IDs, and we’re building the infrastructure now to support that future.

With mDL adoption accelerating across the United States—in states like California, Georgia, and more than 20 others—Vouched’s innovation makes identity verification faster, more secure, and more accessible. In Georgia alone, over 400,000 residents use mDLs, highlighting the demand for convenient digital ID options.

“Being first to market with web-based mobile driver’s license support isn’t just a technical achievement—it’s a strategic move to lead a shift that will redefine how identity is verified in the years ahead,” said Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched. “Digital credentials like mDLs are poised to replace physical IDs, and we’re building the infrastructure now to support that future. These innovations are part of Vouched’s drive to build the best user experience with the highest completion rates.”

Unlike traditional ID checks, Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs) offer a new level of security and assurance; each mDL is cryptographically signed using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which makes it virtually impossible to forge. The license is secured on the user’s device and protected by biometrics, making it virtually impossible to forge or misuse.

Every mDL is issued only after direct authentication with the user’s state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), ensuring the identity data is verified at the source before it ever reaches a digital wallet. Combined with adherence to global standards like ISO/IEC 18013-5 and ISO 23220, which govern secure storage and transmission of identity data, mDLs represent the most trustworthy and modern form of ID verification available today.

When an mDL is available, users can verify their identity with just a few taps—eliminating frustrations of camera positioning, poor lighting, or unclear images—resulting in a significantly faster, more intuitive experience. If an mDL is not present, Vouched’s platform automatically transitions to high-resolution capture and verification of government-issued IDs through advanced video-based scanning. This dual-path approach leads to higher completion rates and greater confidence among individuals in the security of their data.

Verification success rates increase with the use of high integrity of digital credentials and completion times drop as users no longer wrestle with suboptimal image captures or complicated app downloads. Additionally, fraud exposure is reduced due to the cryptographic protections, biometric safeguards, and real-time validation offered by mDLs.

As digital identity evolves and physical credentials give way to smarter, more secure digital alternatives, mDLs are poised to become the new standard. Vouched is building the infrastructure now to support that future—delivering high-assurance, browser-based verification that reduces friction for users and risk for businesses. The company’s early entry into web-based mobile driver’s license verification support ensures its clients are not only keeping pace with regulatory and technological shifts, but staying ahead of them. This innovation is more than a feature—it’s a foundational step toward the next era of identity verification.
