Important Takeaways:
- 2023: The Year Digital Identities Go Mainstream
- Since the pandemic, we’ve seen the use of digital identity evolve alongside our hybrid lifestyles, as more businesses and government agencies were pushed to move interactions online rather than in person. By 2021, several countries began exploring digital vaccine passports for travel given the acute need for convenient, secure confirmation of a traveler’s health status. Although not a concern anymore for most governments and individuals, it’s a use case that drove home the value of digital identities more clearly to both private companies and government entities.
- 2022 was another major year for digital identity as we saw some foundational pieces fall into place. In the U.S., the TSA authorized the first few companies to use mobile IDs to pass through airport security, including Airside and Apple. Apple took this a step further to begin partnering with states that offer mobile driver’s licenses to enable storing and using them within its digital wallet, including for the TSA screening process. These moves show an increasing trend toward a world of reusable identity—or a “verify once, share anywhere” approach to digital identity verification
- The European Union will mandate digital identity under eIDAS 2.0, which will go into effect in September 2023 and ensure all Member States offer a digital identity wallet (DIW) to citizens and businesses. According to the European Commission, “At least 80% of citizens should be able to use a digital ID solution to access key public services by 2030.”
