�׻��������� Australia & New Zealand has signed a contract with the Queensland Government to continue delivery of the state’s first Digital Licence App.

A first for Australia, the Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Digital Licence App, developed by �׻��������� in partnership with Queensland SMEs, Code Heroes and Aliva, will meet the International ISO-18013-5 Mobile Driver Licence Standard, allowing the State’s digital driver licences to be recognised and used all over the world.

The Digital Licence App was successfully piloted with residents of the Fraser Coast in 2020, with a user satisfaction rating of 94 per cent. �׻��������� will now introduce further functionality for residents and businesses before working with TMR to make the Queensland Digital Licence App available to other regions, including Townsville, before delivery to over 3.9 million Queenslanders state-wide.

�׻���������’ ability to access world leading technology and subject matter expertise from within the �׻��������� Group has led to a significant transfer of skills to the company’s Australian workforce including, expertise in Digital Wallet Platforms, Digital Identity Standards and security, and secure mobile app development.

The app will incorporate driver licences, marine licences and proof of age cards initially, with the opportunity to expand to other Queensland Government credentials and services in the future.

�׻��������� Australia and New Zealand CEO, Chris Jenkins said “We are excited that over 3.9 million Queenslanders will soon be able to access �׻���������’ Digital ID Wallet via the Digital Licence App, proudly developed in partnership with TMR and Queensland SMEs, Code Heroes and Aliva. Our solution provides the people of Queensland with complete control over their personal data and the freedom to decide exactly what information to share, with whom, and when, in the convenience of a mobile app that can also act as a gateway to Government services.”
