The ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard defines the global framework for mobile driver’s licenses (mDL) and mobile identity credentials on digital devices. 

It sets clear technical and security guidelines to ensure mobile licenses are secure, trustworthy, and globally interoperable.

The standard focuses on:

• Data Authenticity and Integrity: Ensures all credentials are verifiable and tamper-proof using cryptographic methods.
  
  
• User Privacy and Control: Supports Selective Disclosure, allowing individuals to share only the data required for specific transactions (e.g., age verification).
  
  
• Global Compatibility: Provides specifications for digital credentials to be recognized and validated both online and offline across borders.
  
  
• Secure Communication: Facilitates secure interactions using technologies like NFC, Bluetooth, and QR codes, ensuring seamless verification processes.

With ISO/IEC 18013-5, governments, organizations, and developers have a unified standard for building digital identity solutions that are reliable, private, and universally accepted.
