All drivers will be able to carry a digital version of their licence on their smartphone by 2024, the Victorian government has confirmed. A six-month trial of the technology will begin in Ballarat for full licence holders in July before it is rolled out across the state.app and will reflect in real-time whether it has been revoked or suspended.
It can still be used as proof of identity as police, businesses and other authorities will be able to verify its authenticity through a timed QR code.Users will have the opportunity to only show certain personal information for privacy reasons. Government Services Minister Danny Pearson said if someone entering a licence venue didn't want to share their address with a bouncer then they'd be able to simply show evidence they were over 18."We want to give consumers the choice to be able to decide how they control their data, how they use the data and what they're prepared to show or not show," Mr Pearson told reporters.
