Overview
The issuance of digital IDs in the United States is undeniably expanding, nearing a tipping point where more than half of the country will have access to this form of identification. As U.S. progress continues, a mandate on issuance and adoption in the European Union will provide insight into how the processes work and what should be emphasized—and avoided—as digital ID takes greater root here.
This Javelin Strategy & Research report tracks the progress of digital ID in the United States, details how issuance, acceptance, and consumer attitudes toward the technology combine to expand adoption and light the way for coming developments, and builds a framework for assessing the advancement of digital ID now and in the future.
Key questions discussed in this Emerging Payments report:
- How can a European Union mandate on digital ID issuance and adoption influence what is happening in the United States?
- How do digital ID availability, acceptance in the marketplace, and consumer attitudes toward the technology combine to drive adoption?
- What is the three-year prognosis for digital ID issuance and adoption in the United States?
