The roadside check
An officer confirms your licence โ without it ever leaving your phone.
An officer confirms your licence โ without it ever leaving your phone.
During a traffic stop an officer needs to confirm who you are and that you are licensed to drive the vehicle. With an ISO 18013-5 mobile driving licence the officer's device sends a signed request; your phone shows exactly which data elements are asked for, you approve, and a cryptographically signed response is returned. The credential never leaves your device and the officer receives a tamper-evident, instantly verifiable result.
The officer's terminal requests identity, the licence number, expiry and driving categories โ plus your portrait to match the person presenting it. No address or unrelated data is shared.
What happens
- 1
The officer's reader displays a signed verification request as a QR code.

- 3
You approve, and your device returns a signed, selectively-disclosed response.
- 4
The officer's device validates the issuer signature and confirms the licence is genuine and valid.
Exactly what is requested
Selective disclosure means only these data elements are asked for โ and you approve each request before anything is shared.
