IDEMIA Public Security, a global leader in secure biometric solutions, has partnered with Trinsic, a digital ID infrastructure provider, to expand the use of mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) across the United States. The collaboration, announced on February 26, 2026, will initially support mDL acceptance in New York, Arkansas, Iowa, West Virginia, and Kentucky, with plans for further expansion.

Accelerating Adoption of Mobile IDs

IDEMIA Public Security’s Civil Identity business is the top provider of secure mobile driver’s licenses in the U.S., with most state-backed mobile ID apps and credentials deployed nationwide. These credentials provide millions of residents with access to government-issued mobile IDs designed for high assurance, privacy, and interoperability at airports and other venues.

While mDLs offer a more secure and privacy-focused method for online identity verification, their adoption hinges on acceptance by businesses and organizations. Trinsic’s Identity Acceptance Network, which supports over 50 digital IDs globally, will enable IDEMIA to expand the utility of mobile IDs for consumers who already possess them. The partnership also aims to engage corporate and highly regulated sectors to further accelerate adoption.

Streamlining Identity Verification for Businesses

With the upcoming launch of the joint solution, thousands of businesses that use Trinsic’s digital ID gateway will be able to accept mDLs from IDEMIA’s mobile ID apps, alongside other digital IDs such as European eIDs and OEM wallets. This partnership streamlines the process for businesses and gives users more options for verifying their identity.

“This partnership is about more than simply enabling more businesses to accept mobile driver’s licenses,” said Matt Cole, CEO of IDEMIA Public Security. “Trinsic’s network helps us fulfill our mandate to the jurisdictions that entrust us with critical infrastructure — delivering greater value for their constituents, while enabling our growing commercial customers with a more thorough suite of identity and biometrics services.”

Cole added that using mobile IDs for verification, rather than uploading images of physical IDs, reduces fraud and improves user experience. The partnership allows this win-win outcome to scale across more users and businesses.

Building a Secure and Interoperable Digital Trust Ecosystem

As the use of mDLs and other digital IDs grows globally, acceptance remains a challenge due to fragmentation. Trinsic’s platform provides a single solution for companies to access more than 50 digital IDs worldwide. With the integration of IDEMIA’s Mobile ID apps, Trinsic becomes the first company to support every remote verification-capable digital ID in the United States.

“This partnership demonstrates how quickly digital ID acceptance is accelerating,” said Riley Hughes, CEO of Trinsic. “By combining IDEMIA’s leadership in mobile ID deployment with Trinsic’s acceptance network, we’re enabling our customers to adopt mDLs in a way that’s secure, interoperable, and built for the future.”

The collaboration between IDEMIA and Trinsic aligns their shared goal of promoting awareness, understanding, and adoption of digital IDs across both public and private sectors. The companies plan to jointly deliver demonstrations, educational materials, and industry events in the coming months to showcase how mDLs work in practice and how organizations can prepare to accept them.

As digital credentials gain momentum at both the state and federal levels, this partnership marks a critical step toward an open, interoperable digital trust ecosystem. In this ecosystem, individuals retain control over their data, and organizations can rely on credentials with confidence.
