Socure Expands mDL Verification with Google and Samsung as Regulators Endorse Digital IDs — Socure Inc.

Event summary

Socure launched U.S. mobile driver’s license (mDL) verification in its DocV product, enabling cryptographic validation against state authorities via Google Wallet and Samsung Wallet.
Regulatory guidance issued on September 8, 2026, confirmed that verifiable digital credentials can qualify as documentary evidence under the Customer Identification Program Rule.
ABI Research projects the U.S. mDL install base will grow from 21.7 million in 2025 to 143 million by 2030, with 40 states issuing digital licenses.
Socure’s mDL verification supports remote presentation, addressing the higher-risk verifications that occur during account opening and onboarding.

The big picture

Socure’s mDL verification launch aligns with a broader industry shift toward digital identity solutions, supported by regulatory clarity. The ability to cryptographically validate mDLs against state authorities addresses the growing need for secure, low-friction identity verification in remote onboarding processes. As digital wallets become more prevalent, Socure’s integration with Google and Samsung positions it to capitalize on this trend, particularly in high-risk verification scenarios.
