Envoc launches person-to-person digital credential verification for LA Wallet app

Louisiana's digital license app is getting a major update just a couple of months after its release. 

The LA Wallet's latest update includes top user-requested features such as a built-in license verification module, Touch ID and Face ID compatibility, and a few bug fixes, according to a press release.

Envoc, which developed the mobile app, said the newest functions are part of LA Wallet's mission to make the app more widely and easily accepted by users, officials, and businesses as well as more secure for users.

The VerifyYou feature creates a unique encryption code for each verification instance, ensuring the code cannot be counterfeited for verification, according to the release. The feature enables anyone with the LA Wallet app to check the authenticity of another LA Wallet digital driver's license. 

LA Wallet now also includes the AAVMA code, the bar code on the back of a physical license, so that officials and businesses can use a bar code scanner to verify a user's license. The bar code is enlarged to allow an easier scan.
