ISO/IEC 18013-3:2017

ISO/IEC 18013 establishes guidelines for the design format and data content of an ISO-compliant driving licence (IDL) with regard to human-readable features (ISO/IEC 18013‑1), machine-readable technologies (ISO/IEC 18013‑2), and access control, authentication and integrity validation (ISO/IEC 18013‑3). It creates a common basis for international use and mutual recognition of the IDL without impeding individual countries/states to apply their privacy rules and national/community/regional motor vehicle authorities in taking care of their specific needs.

ISO 18013-3:2017

- is based on the machine-readable data content specified in ISO/IEC 18013‑2;

- specifies mechanisms and rules available to issuing authorities (IAs) for:

• - access control (i.e. limiting access to the machine-readable data recorded on the IDL),
• - document authentication (i.e. confirming that the document was issued by the claimed IA), and
• - data integrity validation (i.e. confirming that the data has not been changed since issuing).

ISO 1813-3:2017 does not address issues related to the subsequent use of data obtained from the IDL, e.g. privacy issues.
