Queenslanders could soon have the option to store their driver licences digitally on their mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the State Government was well on the way in the development of digital IDs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative aligns with the community\u2019s growing preference to have a digital option for how they manage their affairs, including government transactions,\u201d Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we use driver licences today is different from when they were first introduced in 1910 in a paper format.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is the driver licence an official document that allows you to legally drive, it is also widely accepted as a primary form of identification.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueenslanders use their driver licence to rent a house, open a bank account, book Airbnb, or check-in to a hotel. A digital driver licence will allow people to do all of this via their mobile device.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not phasing out physical licences but we think people should be given the choice to have a digital option, if that\u2019s their preference.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the security of personal information would be a critical feature in the design of the digital wallet.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike any personal data used for digital transactions, we must ensure customer information is protected to the highest standard,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a physical driver licence, the digital wallet gives you control about how much information you allow a third party to see, copy and retain.<\/p>\n

\u201cA digital wallet can be more secure than a physical licence as security features include the ability to verify a digital wallet by scanning a QR code or similar.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, to prove you are over 18 to access a venue, you could do that without having to show your address or date of birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could simply show your phone, with a photo and an indicator to confirm you are over 18.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said a procurement process to engage a vendor to develop a digital wallet and supporting platforms would start soon, with an industry briefing event being held on October 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShortlisted vendors will be engaged to develop the wallet via a co-design and user testing process to help determine what features the public would like and to ensure accessibility issues are addressed,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

\u201cA pilot for the digital wallet could be ready in second half of 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will likely start with learner licences and proof-of-age cards, before looking to expand to other licences, products and functionality at a later stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will also be the opportunity to include other services in the future, including allowing customers to change their address, renew their licence and pay their registration fees through the digital wallet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
