US's Largest mDL Verification Network Shows Scalability and Diversity

Published Date : 9/9/2025 

TokenWorks Inc. and Oneproof have successfully deployed the largest commercial mDL verification network in the US, integrating advanced software across 15,000 devices in 7,500 business locations, showcasing the scalability of mobile driver’s license solutions. 

TokenWorks Inc., a leading provider of biometric authentication and verification systems, and Oneproof, a mobile driver’s license (mDL) verification software vendor, have announced the successful completion of the largest commercial deployment of mDL verification technology in the United States to date.

The rollout integrated Oneproof’s advanced mDL verification software across more than 15,000 TokenWorks Android-based devices, in more than 7,500 business locations throughout North America. This deployment demonstrates how identity solutions, including mDLs, can be effectively deployed at scale across diverse businesses without the need for new hardware investments.

Merchants selling age-restricted products, such as bars, clubs, liquor stores, vape shops, dispensaries, and casinos, can now accommodate patrons who may have forgotten their physical driver’s licenses. Charles Cagliostro, president of TokenWorks, emphasizes the convenience and security this technology brings.

However, getting the technology needed to accept digital IDs into the hands of relying parties has not been easy. Madhu Goundla, CEO of Oneproof, notes that until now, only a handful of places were equipped to accept mobile drivers licenses. This partnership, however, makes mDL acceptance a reality at scale, creating the infrastructure that will transform how Americans interact with age and identity restricted businesses, from resorts to major retailers.

Goundla promises security for businesses, convenience for consumers, and the ability to stay ahead of regulatory changes as more and more states bring mDL programs online. Oneproof’s mDL verification products are compliant with ISO/IEC 18013-5 and ISO/IEC 18013-7, ensuring the highest standards of security and reliability.

Christina Hulka, executive director of the Secure Technology Alliance, highlights the growing momentum in mDL adoption, noting that 90 percent of North America either has an mDL program or is actively working on one. Oneproof and TokenWorks have been key contributors to this momentum through their engagement in the Secure Technology Alliance’s Identity and Access Forum.

Their leadership in deploying the nation’s largest network of mDL verification devices shows that mDLs are no longer a future concept; they are here, and their impact is profound.
