A digital identity wallet is an application downloaded onto your mobile device that securely holds and encrypts various identity assets containing private information. The application allows users to access pertinent personal documents without carrying an original, physical copy. Identity validation assets include items like your driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, insurance card, social security card and more. When asked to verify your identity with a digital identity wallet, you would have your wallet scanned rather than showing your ID, similar to scanning a barcode or QR code.
