Projects and synergy efforts

A successful Digital ID pilot will lead to a state-wide, federated identity service where all online state services can be accessed through a single service. The long-term solution will also interoperate with mobile driver’s license processes for identity proofing as well as additional use cases to digitize other licensure and permitting applications.
