Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22

Proceed with caution

Why
The standard is published, privacy-preserving (selective disclosure), and backed by Apple/Google/state DMVs plus a 2027 eIDAS mandate, so it is the credible long-term direction - but live banking deployments are nascent, issuer coverage is patchy, and protocol/regional fragmentation means premature reliance would strand us on incomplete rails.
Next
Prototype an OID4VP verifier against a sandbox mDL (e.g. California DMV Wallet) and assess issuer coverage in our target geographies before committing to mDL as a KYC input; keep document-scan + iProov liveness as the fallback path.
