Mobile ID cards are becoming the norm
Personal, corporate and government ID cards are becoming increasingly mobile, with many businesses deploying digital identities into apps and wallets to make accessing their services frictionless and more secure. The advent of mobile Driving License (mDL) technology for government-issued identity cards will enable a wide range of new applications including age verification, frictionless travel and proof-of-identity for service enrolment.
Why move to NFC Wallet for digital identity solutions?
VTAP readers are already certified for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, supporting many existing uses of mobile ID, and are designed to be futureproof for next generation mobile identity applications. Many businesses are already using VTAP readers for NFC Wallet ID applications today, including:
Membership ID
Membership ID for check-in for gyms, healthcare and private members clubs
Access control
Access control for gyms, sports & events venues, flexible offices, student and corporate ID
Ticketing
Why is NFC essential for mobile ID applications?
Frictionless experience
NFC Wallet IDs do not rely on awkward optical code scanning, allowing fast ‘just tap’ verification without having to find an app, QR code or physical ID document. This enables the same simple & swift experience as Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Improve operations
An NFC digital ID can be used to quickly and securely present a membership number or verifiable credential to easily gain access to any service. Applications include frictionless check-in, venue access, authentication/log-in and service enrolment.
Strong security
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet security includes use of the smartphone biometric to unlock an ID card ready for use. Smartphone wallets support secure processes for issuing & managing the full lifecycle of digital ID cards on mobile devices.

Why are VTAP readers perfect for mobile ID?
VTAP readers already support many NFC mobile ID applications across a wide range of sectors and are designed to support the widest range of contactless interactions across NFC tags, cards, wallets, apps and wearables.
Easy migration
VTAP readers simplify migration to the ‘just tap’ NFC experience for mobile ID applications by supporting the widest range of integration options, with simple configuration tools and an online management platform. Readers can be easily connected with front desk PCs, touch screen devices, kiosks, self-service check-outs, access gates, door locks and PoS systems, making migration super simple.
Futureproof
The mDL standard (ISO1803-5) defines several implementation options for ID verification including scanning a QR code in a smartphone ID app, or using NFC and Bluetooth for fast data reading and optional on-line verification of secure data. VTAP PRO readers already support NFC, Bluetooth & IP connectivity as standard and can control external QR code scanners, providing the essential building blocks for new solutions.
Multi-application
VTAP readers already support a wide range of applications, as used across many sectors. As more ID passes are issued into NFC Wallets, businesses will need readers to support multiple applications in the same installation, such as loyalty and age verification for retail, ticket & ID validation for travel. VTAP readers are designed to support secure firmware updates to seamlessly enable new functionality.
