Following in Iowa‘s footsteps, Delaware is considering whether or not to provide digital driver’s licenses to its citizens.
The state’s assembly recently passed a resolution requesting that the Division of Motor Vehicles study and consider issuing optional digital driver’s licenses for Delaware motorists. According to the resolution, Delaware uses the same driver’s license vendor as the state of Iowa, which is also exploring the use of digital driver’s licenses.
Delaware’s digital license would be available in addition to standard physical licenses and would’t be required. The state indicated certain security standards would have to be met, and might require the use of biometrics or other technologies to authenticate device ownership and identification. In the end, Delaware’s lawmakers believe digital driver’s licenses could improve quality-of-life for its motorists.
The resolution did not spell out any sort of timeframe.
