Full title and description

ISO/IEC TS 18013-7:2025 — Personal identification — ISO‑compliant driving licence — Part 7: Mobile driving licence (mDL) add‑on functions. This Technical Specification defines add‑on functions to the mDL framework (ISO/IEC 18013‑5) that enable presentation of a mobile driving licence to a reader over the Internet, while addressing interoperability, security and privacy considerations for remote presentation scenarios.

Abstract

This technical specification augments the mobile driving licence (mDL) application defined in ISO/IEC 18013‑5 by specifying methods and add‑on features to present an mDL to a verifier/reader via Internet‑based communication. It focuses on the Internet presentation use case (online presentation), and provides guidance for secure, interoperable and privacy‑protective exchange and verification of mDL data.

Scope

The scope of ISO/IEC TS 18013‑7:2025 is to provide add‑on functions that extend the mDL application interface and behaviour so a holder’s mDL can be presented to a verifier over the Internet. The document addresses message flows, required data elements for online presentation, high‑level security and verification requirements, and privacy considerations for Internet‑mediated mDL exchanges. It is intended to work alongside the core mDL specifications in ISO/IEC 18013‑5.

Key topics and requirements

• Internet presentation flow: definitions of roles and message sequences for presenting an mDL to a remote reader.
• Interoperability: alignment with ISO/IEC 18013‑5 data models and interfaces to ensure cross‑platform verification.
• Security mechanisms: requirements for authentication, integrity protection and secure transport for Internet‑based exchanges.
• Privacy and selective disclosure: guidance to minimise disclosed attributes and protect holder consent and privacy.
• Verifier and issuer interactions: expectations for online verification, status checking and revocation support.
• Operational considerations: recommendations for reliability, error handling and fallback to local/offline presentation where applicable.

Typical use and users

Implementers of mDL solutions (software vendors and platform providers), government issuing authorities, identity and credential management vendors, verifier equipment and service providers (e.g., law enforcement, border control, mobility and transport operators), and standards committees integrating mobile identity into authentication ecosystems. The TS is aimed at both technical implementers and policy teams designing mDL deployments that require Internet presentation capabilities.

Related standards

Primary related documents include ISO/IEC 18013‑5 (Mobile driving licence — mDL application), and other parts of the ISO/IEC 18013 series that cover physical characteristics, data sets and related profiles. Implementers should use TS 18013‑7 together with the core mDL application specification (ISO/IEC 18013‑5) to achieve compliant Internet presentation behaviour.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC TS 18013‑7:2025 is a Technical Specification that defines add‑on functions for mobile driving licences (mDLs), specifically to enable and standardize presentation of an mDL to a reader over the Internet.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers Internet‑based presentation use cases, including high‑level message flows, alignment with the ISO/IEC 18013‑5 mDL data and interfaces, security and privacy considerations, and operational recommendations for verifiers and issuers.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Governments and issuing authorities, mDL application and platform developers, verifier and reader vendors, identity solution providers, and organizations integrating mobile credentials into services that require remote verification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of publication it is the published 2025 edition (Edition 2). The ISO lifecycle shows the document as published in May 2025 and subject to normal ISO review cycles; implementers should check for later committee drafts or revisions if adopting after publication.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO/IEC 18013 series (ISO‑compliant driving licence), intended to be used together with other parts such as ISO/IEC 18013‑5 (mDL application) and ISO/IEC 18013‑1 (physical characteristics/basic data set) where relevant.
