GET Group, an innovative developer of mobile ID technology with over 20 years of experience in secure government credentials, announced that its mobile driver’s licence (mDL) and mobile ID (mID) application for iOS and Android has successfully passed a conformity assessment against ISO 18013-5 carried out by the Identity Management & Security division of UL, the global safety science pioneer. GET Mobile ID can put an official driver’s licence, ID Card, or national ID on a citizen’s smartphone that can be verified contactlessly with a tap or scan and accepted worldwide. The conformity assessment is used to evaluate compliance with global interoperability standards that meet security, privacy, and technical requirements. Traditional biometric passport GET’s mobile credential provides the same level of trust as a traditional biometric passport Florida is expected to be the first U.S. state to make mDLs available to the public in the new year, but other states are likely to follow suit pending the outcome of in-process pilot programmes and other countries are also exploring various implementations of mDLs. Therefore, compliance with interoperability standards will be essential to ensuring that mobile IDs can be universally used with success - not just verified in their issuing jurisdiction. With conformity in an open mDL/mID ecosystem, GET’s mobile credential provides the same level of trust as a traditional biometric passport. In addition, with the mobile ID solution, those that rely on conventional DL/ID cards can reach higher quality of services. A copy of the press release can be read on the company’s official website. UL assessment One can get in touch with Jordan Bouclin of SVM Public Relations if they would like further information or to speak to GET Group about their expectations for the future of the mDL/mID industry; why ISO 18013-5 compliance will be essential to secure and widespread mDL adoption; and what this UL assessment means for GET’s technology.

Geoff Slagle, a globally-known patron and spokesperson for mobile driver’s licence (mDL) technology, has been appointed as President and Chief Business Development Officer of Scytáles AB. The former director of Identity Management for the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) will help guide both Scytáles and its global mDL partner, GET Group, in establishing a position for ISO-compliant mobile driver’s licences and mobile IDs. Mobile identity technology Geoff Slagle has more than 23 years of identity management experience. Since 2008 he has been directing AAMVA’s identity management program, including its mDL activities and managing its Electronic Identity and Joint mDL working groups. Mr. Slagle coordinated with the DMV of the Netherlands; the National Police Agency of Japan; and AAMVA (including seven of its jurisdictions) on mDL proof-of-concept. For the past four years he has also chaired the ANSI committee (INCITS DL) responsible for driver licence standardisation, including mDL. GET Group, together with its affiliate GET Group North America, and Scytáles AB partnered to develop a mobile identity technology platform that is fully compliant with the 18013-5 standard, which specifies technical and interoperability requirements for mDLs. Highly-regarded champions Mr. Slagle is one of the most recognised and highly-regarded champions of mobile driver’s license adoption" The companies work in close collaboration to make this technology available across the world and to educate the market on the importance of the cryptographic proof of ID provided by ISO 18013-5. “Mr. Slagle is one of the most recognised and highly-regarded champions of mobile driver’s licence adoption and has been instrumental in coordinating and publishing AAMVA’s guidelines and model legislation around the subject,” said Alex Kambanis, president and managing director, GET Group North America. Global identification standards “We are thrilled to have him supporting our efforts in North America in particularly, via his new role with our partner Scytáles. Like us, Geoff recognises the importance of 18013-5 standardisation for mDLs to be truly trusted around the world and appreciates that GET and Scytales are the experts in ISO 18013-5 implementation.” “I am optimistic about the future of digital identity and impressed by the global partnership Scytáles and GET Group have formed to produce mDLs that can be issued and used everywhere thanks to compliance with global identification standards,” said Geoff. Significant financial investment “I have spent the last decade assisting with the creation and shaping of policies and standards that make possible the implementation of mDL. I now want to apply myself and invest in the execution of those in a practical way and know that Scytáles and GET Group are poised to accomplish this better than anyone to the benefit of billions of individuals that currently hold a driver licence and the potential to possess a mDL.” “The two companies have made significant financial investment into the technology and are ready to go right now with standing up mDL capabilities for issuing authorities. I look forward to working together with GET in my new capacity as President and Chief Business Development Officer of Scytáles AB to make the promise of efficient, secure, and affordable mDLs possible for everyone.”
