Victoria’s digital driver’s licence – which will be accessible through the Service Victoria app or the soon-to-be-launched VicRoads app – will include new security features, including a timed QR code that can used by police and business to verify authenticity and prevent fraudulent use. Since then, the New South Wales and Queensland governments have also either introduced or begun trialling digital driver’s licences with motorists, as a precursor to the digitisation of other credentials. The planned trial and state-wide rollout of the new technology, announced on Monday, comes more than five years after the first digital driver’s licences were introduced by the South Australian government. Victoria will become the fourth jurisdiction to introduce digital driver’s licences, with the state government to trial the plastic card alternative in the regional city of Ballarat in July before a state-wide rollout next year.
