NIST Guidelines on Implementing Mobile Driver’s Licenses for Financial Institutions
The NIST NCCoE has published the draft NIST Special Publication (SP) 1800-42A, Digital Identities - Mobile Driver’s License (mDL): Accelerating Development and Adoption of Digital Identity for Financial Institutions.
