[Data] transfer is only initiated by the mDL holder after giving affirmative [consent]. [National Institute of Standards and Technology] partnered with [Gemalto] to pilot the "digital driver's license". The first instance of an electronic driver's license was deployed in Mexico as early as [2007|Year 2007], using the [Gemalto|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemalto#e-Driver%E2%80%99s_licenses] smart-card platform. In [2016|Year 2016], the [National Institute of Standards and Technology] partnered with [Gemalto] to pilot the "digital driver's license" in [ District of Columbia], [Idaho], [Colorado], [Maryland] and [Wyoming] Colorado was the first state to deploy a production version of a [{$pagename}], primarily based on [QR-code] stored in a [Digital Wallet], which it claims is accepted by [Law Enforcement Agency] officers throughout the state. After going through the standard process at the state Department of Motor Vehicles, volunteers installed the "DigiDL" app on their phones and then downloaded the license. Volunteers tested the digital driver's license in stores, the Colorado Lottery claim center, and an art fair. The first mDL that claims compliance with [ISO 18013]-5 is Louisiana's, developed in part by [Envoc|https://envoc.com/||target='_blank'], a software firm in Baton Rouge, whose president claimed that most drivers under 40 won't go back home if they forget their physical laminated license, "but if they forget their phone, they always turn around."

[Mobile Device] [Operating Systems] are adapting to the new standard. For example, [Android]'s JetPack suite comes with specific support for ISO 18013–5 from version API 24. On September 1, [2021|Year 2021], [Apple] provided details about its implementation of the standard in [iOS] 15. [Arizona] and [Georgia] became the first two states to announce that IDs were supported.
