Digital IDs are gaining momentum, fast. The convergence of mobile driver’s license (mDL) adoption across the U.S., eIDAS 2.0 rolling out across Europe, and integration into Apple, Google, and Samsung wallets has shifted digital identity from a future-state concept to a present-day reality.
That’s why businesses no longer question whether they should accept digital IDs. The new question is whether they can accept every credential, everywhere, without a separate integration or accreditation project for each one, and still correctly verify the actual person behind it.
The reality is that organizations who can’t scale their support for digital IDs will fall behind on three fronts simultaneously: regulations, user expectations, and competitors who are already ahead of the curve.
Every Credential, Everywhere, Without the Accreditation Tax
Most identity verification providers build the technical rails to read a digital ID and then leave the hardest part to you. They run a bring-your-own-accreditation model, which means you have to get accredited in each country before you can actually accept the eID there. And those accreditations are no formality: the process is tedious, can take years, and in some cases requires being incorporated in the country itself. That’s what turns eID “support” into a series of standalone projects and a per-country tax on every market you want to enter.
Jumio takes a much better approach. Powered by a partnership with Trinsic, Jumio supports a broad and fast-growing range of digital ID schemes worldwide through a single integration, adding new credential formats as they emerge. Rather than leaving customers to navigate each jurisdiction alone, Jumio takes on the heavy lifting of accreditation entirely on the customer’s behalf — dramatically shortening time-to-market, with zero development work required.
Breadth Without Lowering the Bar
Accepting more credential types only matters if every user is verified to the same standard. That’s where Jumio excels. Mobile driver’s licenses, Apple and Google Wallet credentials, and physical IDs are all verified through a single integration, letting users present whatever’s most convenient for them.
Most importantly, every credential receives the full suite of Jumio’s identity intelligence: biometric authentication, liveness detection, cross-network signals, historical results, cross-transaction analysis, multiple risk signals, and Jumio’s Identity Graph, all through the same platform customers already use for physical document verification. Government-database checks add another layer of assurance, confirming that the person presenting the credential actually exists through a strong, hard-to-spoof signal that goes beyond document verification alone.
This approach ensures a digital credential never clears a lower bar than a physical one would. And for Jumio customers, turning on digital ID support requires minimal technical lift.
Built for Upcoming Mandates
Digital ID acceptance is accelerating rapidly. And in large parts of the world, it is no longer optional.
In the United States, mobile driver’s licenses are gaining momentum. As of October 2025, 76% of Americans were living in states where mDL programs are either live or in development. And as of June 2026, the AAMVA map shows only 8 states/territories not participating in digital ID schemes. REAL ID enforcement began in May 2025, and the TSA now accepts mDLs at more than 250 priority airports. Adoption is expected to accelerate into the tens of millions by the end of 2026 as major-population states expand their programs.
In Europe, the mandates are widespread. eIDAS 2.0, which went into effect in May 2024, requires all 27 EU member states to issue European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallets to citizens and businesses by September 2026. By late 2027, companies and organizations that require identity verification will be required to accept the EUDI Wallet as a valid form of identification. A staggering 169 million digital ID wallets are forecast to be in circulation by the end of 2026, and the European Commission’s goal is 80% active citizen adoption by 2030.
The pattern beyond the U.S. and Europe is similar. In Latin America, Brazil’s Digital CNH is already used by more than 60 million citizens, and Costa Rica launched its mobile digital identity in September 2025. In April 2025, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) announced a joint initiative to enable secure cross-border authentication, allowing citizens in Latin America and the Caribbean to access digital public services in other countries using their national digital IDs.
It may seem impossible to keep up with all these emerging mandates and trends. But with Jumio, you get support for the latest digital IDs with zero development effort. It’s also important to remember that digital credentials carry the same legal defensibility as a physical ID, all while removing onboarding friction and improving conversion.
Proven Ability to Scale
Jumio is already helping organizations verify digital identities around the globe. Jumio was one of the first global identity verification providers to support Brazil’s Digital CNH in January 2025. Since then, Jumio has processed more than one million Brazil CNH Digital verifications, and digital ID acceptance there has driven a 10% increase in conversions. Building on that experience, Jumio expanded support to eIDAS-compliant digital identities across nearly 20 European countries in September 2025, with all accreditation managed by Jumio instead of our customers. And now, with the Trinsic integration, Jumio supports digital IDs in 60+ countries and territories and will be able to seamlessly support new digital IDs as they’re released.
