## What is mDL Check?

mDL Check empowers businesses and venues to accept mobile drivers licenses (mDL) and IDs (mID) while providing a faster, more secure, and privacy-focused identity verification experience. With just an iPhone, businesses and venues can accept ISO18013-5 compliant mobile identity cards stored in dedicated ID apps or digital wallets.

mDL Check utilizes the ID Verifier API to scan and read mobile IDs using QR code or NFC initiation. With an entirely contactless design and the ability to request only the specific information needed, mDL Check streamlines the ID verification process while giving the ID holder the power to share only the information they want.

How it works:

1. Select the specific information you need to verify, such as a user’s name, their age, or a minimum age.
2. Tap the “Verify Identity” button to begin the verification process.
3. Invite the user to present you with the QR code generated by their mDL or mID app, or, if their mobile ID is stored in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or Samsung Wallet, invite them to hold the top of their device near the contactless symbol on your device.
4. Wait while the user reviews the information requested on their device and approves or denies the request.
5. If approved, the requested ID information will then appear on your device.
6. Tap “Done” to dismiss the information.

Key Features:
* Flexibility to request only the information you need (give name, family name, age, minimum age)
* Widespread acceptance using the ISO18013-5 standard for mDLs/mIDs
* An entirely contactless initiation and verification process
* Works entirely offline without the need for an internet connection
* Accepts mDLs/mIDs stored in dedicated ID apps and the most popular digital wallets
* Preserves privacy by blocking screenshots or screen recordings of the ID information shared by a user

FAQs
Q: What can I do with mDL Check?
A: Read ISO18013-5 compliant mDLs and mIDs

Q: Do I need an internet connection to use this app?
A: No, the app works entirely offline

Q: Is the app and the data shared secure?
A: Yes. Using the ID Verifier API, mDL Check only displays the information requested and cannot store any data. Further, initiating the data request is done by scanning and QR code on the user’s device or having the user tap their device to yours using NFC. Once this initial “handshake” is performed, the devices establish a secure, encrypted connection over Bluetooth (BLE). This BLE connection is used to transfer the ID request to the user and then to return the requested information back to your device.
