Digital driving licences are being rolled out across several countries; they’re digital IDs

The use of mobile driving licences (“mDLs”) continues to expand globally, with countries such as Australia, South Korea and Paraguay following the path of early adopters like Mexico.

The US is also seeing a spike in uptake, with six states already offering a digital identity credential as a valid mobile driving licence.  According to a release from the Secure Technology Alliance, more are coming with 26 other states already in the process of introducing mDLs.

Two years ago, The Last American Vagabond outlined how the push for digital identity programmes is a scam disguised as a human right.  In an article published in August 2023, the independent Canadian outlet exposed who is behind the push for digital driving licences in the US and Mexico, which we don’t delve into in our article.  You can read The Last American Vagabond’s article HERE.

Mexico

Thales, in cooperation with local partner Cosmocolor, implemented the first Mexican smart card driving licence, in Nuevo León State, in 2007.

The technology has now been expanded to the states of Jalisco, México, Veracruz and Sonora.

As The Last American Vagabond detailed, Thales is one of the driving forces behind the expansion of mobile or digital driving licences.

Australia

In 2017, South Australia became the first state to launch digital licences.  In 2021 hackers accessed more than 2,600 mySA GOV accounts after obtaining passwords in a cyber attack on a separate, unrelated website.

The local DMV in Illinois requires appointments for the last several years, because of all of the illegal aliens coming to the DMV to do whatever it is they are doing. Guess they don’t stop in Mexico to get their digital ID before they cross the border into The Promised Land.

If this was simply a copy of my driver’s license I could carry on my phone in addition to the card I would like it. The problem is that the government won’t be able to limit themselves to that. They’ll want to tie into the phone’s tracking system. They’ll want to be able to tap into the communications so they can see text messages and listen to phone calls or even the microphone without making a call (all with your implied permission much like the permission you give for blood alcohol tests by getting a license so no need for a warrant). Then they’ll want the ability to turn off your phone and your car so you can’t travel or call for help. No thanks, I’ll just keep the card.

Sure, just give the cop on a traffic stop your unlocked cell phone so he can take it back to his vehicle to examine the contents and download everything on your phone.

Pass.

Forget the cell phone, they will want to put all the information of license on a tiny chip and then put it in back side of your hand. Then they can scan your hand. Kind of like the mark of the Beast, But I’m not really into that interruption of what the mark of the Beast is talking about in the Book of Revelation. But now that I have opened up that can of worms, have at it fellow Christians at interrupting this post into your end times time line.

I don’t plan on handing my phone over to a cop.

I watched a trial awhile ago - deadly car wreck. In the interview room right afterwards the young man was so anxious to get his phone back that he offered it up to the cop so he could prove that he wasn’t texting.

“Well - we’ll just get a warrant, but that will take longer. If you just give us the phone now you’ll have it back real quick.” (It was still several weeks before he got his phone back - the cop made it sound like it would only take a few hours.)

Anyway - because he volunteered the phone, EVERYTHING on his phone could be looked through - not just his texting history at the time of the accident. While he had not been texting, there were messages with his drug dealer which he got in trouble for. (He was found not guilty of the car wreck - the other person had drifted into his lane as shown by forensics.)

Don't worry, you'll always be able to vote, even if you don't have your Digital ID
(because you haven't gotten your phone back yet).
