Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to provide digital identification. One of these methods includes comparing the location of a requester of a digital identification to the location of an owner of the digital identification. The method also includes providing information about the digital identification to the requester based at least in part on determining that the requester and the owner are within a predetermined distance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
comparing the location of a requester of a digital identification to the location of an owner of the digital identification; and providing information about the digital identification to the requester based at least in part on determining that the requester and the owner are within a predetermined distance.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing information about the digital identification is further based on receiving authorization to share the information from the owner.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a pre-authorization to share the digital identification; and storing the pre-authorization.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the pre-authorization expires after a predetermined period of time.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the location of the owner of the digital identification is obtained without notifying the owner.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an license plate number associated with a vehicle of the owner; identifying the owner based on the license plate number; and contacting a user device of the owner requesting the digital driver's license.

7 . A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
comparing the location of a requester of a digital identification to the location of an owner of the digital identification; and providing information about the digital identification to the requester based at least in part on determining that the requester and the owner are within a predetermined distance

8 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 7 , wherein providing information about the digital identification is further based on receiving authorization to share the information from the owner.

9 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving a pre-authorization to share the digital identification; and storing the pre-authorization.

10 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the pre-authorization expires after a predetermined period of time.

11 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the location of the owner of the digital identification is obtained without notifying the owner.

12 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving an license plate number associated with a vehicle of the owner; identifying the owner based on the license plate number; and contacting a user device of the owner requesting the digital driver's license.

13 . A system comprising:
one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
comparing the location of a requester of a digital identification to the location of an owner of the digital identification; and
providing information about the digital identification to the requester based at least in part on determining that the requester and the owner are within a predetermined distance

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein providing information about the digital identification is further based on receiving authorization to share the information from the owner.

15 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising:
receiving a pre-authorization to share the digital identification; and storing the pre-authorization.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the pre-authorization expires after a predetermined period of time.

17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the location of the owner of the digital identification is obtained without notifying the owner.

18 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising:
receiving an license plate number associated with a vehicle of the owner; identifying the owner based on the license plate number; and contacting a user device of the owner requesting the digital driver's license.
