E’ disponibile negli store Apple e Google la nuova versione dell'app iPatente. Tale nuova versione, oltre al completo ridisegno delle interfacce, migliora il processo di accreditamento ai servizi offerti dal Portale dell'Automobilista (www.ilportaledellautomobilista.it) ed implementa ulteriori funzioni finalizzate ad innovare e semplificare il colloquio tra il cittadino e la Motorizzazione. Infatti, sarà possibile attivare un servizio di notifica che segnalerà la prossima scadenza della patente, eventuali variazioni di punteggio della stessa a seguito di infrazioni commesse, la scadenza della revisione, oltre a tante altre informazioni utili e sempre disponibili come, ad esempio, i dati caratteristici delle imbarcazioni da diporto intestate con tutte le scadenze d'interesse. Coerentemente all'avanzamento di tale processo di digitalizzazione, verranno progressivamente dismesse tutte le altre comunicazioni di carattere informativo, attualmente ancora recapitate per via postale.
