Reflection
After conducting my research, I discovered the complexity of the digital ID landscape. Many individuals do not possess social security cards to have digital ID's, and having different systems for digital identities in each state would create excessive complications. For digital IDs to be reliable, they must be universally recognized as valid means of identity verification, especially for travel and interstate activities.
Lack of branding
Inconsistent alignment
Small font barely legible
Easy to fraud
Has to be manually checked
Susceptible to wear and tear
Current Driver's License
Many… Many Iterations and Experiments
I experimented with various methods of organizing information, including a wide assortment of cards and separators. I found that using cards made the information significantly easier to read compared to having it float.
Initially, I considered placing the navigation at the bottom for easy access, but I ultimately chose to position it on the left panel. This decision adds more visual interest and provides multiple ways for users to navigate to different screens.
SUMMARY
Quick and reliable access to state identification.
I divided this project into two key components: one for displaying and scanning the driver’s license, and another for age verification. My approach focused on transparency, aiming to develop a product that users find efficient, easy to use, and secure. This app enhances security by minimizing the risk of losing a physical card and facilitates easier updates and integration with other digital services.

Boston Consulting Group has estimated that digital identity could save $11 billion annually ‘through
reduced cost to serve, cost of fraud and improved customer experience. While the government estimates that it costs $17–20 each time someone tries to prove their identity to access a service, the cost of doing so digitally is somewhere between $0.40 and $2.00.

The global digital identity solution market is projected to grow from nearly 28 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 to over 83 billion U.S. dollars in 2028. The rapid market growth is driven by increasing instances of identity frauds and data breaches and new government regulations.

I started this project because I thought digital ID's would add efficiency to people's everyday lives. Physical drivers licenses are often hard to read and don't contain property content hierarchy/organization. However, these statistics made me realize that building Digital ID is crucial to reduce identity fraud as well.
