Mobile ID age verification in Montana

Montana has checked-in qualification and administrative evidence for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, but this static page does not assert live production support. A matching live operational API response is required to display Supported. Google Wallet and Apple Wallet remain independent qualification dimensions.

Live operational status has not yet been confirmed. No production support is asserted by this static page.

The checked-in registry preserves completed evidence for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, but a matching live operational response is required before displaying Supported.

State mobile-ID overview

What first-party sources establish for Montana.

The checked-in registry records completed qualification evidence for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet in Montana. Live operational API status is required before this website can label that jurisdiction-wallet pair Supported; each other wallet remains an independent qualification target.

The issuing authority publishes an official mobile-ID program page. That page can establish a public program claim; it cannot independently make issuer material trusted by Laurel.

Required next action

Maintain Montana continuity testing after every trust-list, registry, verifier, or transport release.

Jurisdiction review record

The evidence record reviewed for Montana.

This record identifies the authority, exact first-party source, program finding, provider-list result, predicate evidence, and trust gate used for this page.

  1. Montana Motor Vehicle Division is the issuing authority recorded for Montana (US-MT, State). The exact first-party authority source retained for this review is https://mvdmt.gov/; it was reviewed on 2026-09-13.
  2. The issuer-specific source reviewed for this record is “Montana Mobile ID,” published by Montana Motor Vehicle Division. The registry classifies the program as Wallet Available.
  3. Apple Wallet is wallet available for this record. The controlling source is “ID in Wallet,” reviewed 2026-09-13.
  4. Google Wallet is wallet available for this record. The controlling source is “Add your US Driver's License or State ID,” reviewed 2026-09-13.
  5. The reviewed record contains separate Laurel evidence for the age_over_21 predicate. At least one wallet qualification record maps to reviewed authoritative trust material: exact certificate bytes from either a signed VICAL or an issuing authority's official endpoint. Live verifier status remains a separate gate.

Privacy-preserving age verification

Ask the credential for an answer, not an identity.

LaurelID uses the ISO mdoc request for org.iso.18013.5.1.mDL, namespace org.iso.18013.5.1, element age_over_21, with intentToRetain=false. If the required predicate is unavailable, the result is Unable to verify. The verifier does not request date of birth as a fallback.

The platform receives an allowlisted outcome and operational metadata. It does not retain a patron’s name, date of birth, address, portrait, document number, wallet identifier, mobile-ID payload, session transcript, or repeat-visitor identifier.

Requested Retained
age_over_21 false
name / birth date never requested
portrait / document number never requested
identity linkage never created

Merchant and venue preparation

What a Montana operator can do now.

  1. Confirm with Montana Motor Vehicle Division which credential channels are currently available; do not treat a wallet-provider listing as Laurel qualification.

  2. Bookmark the reviewed Montana mobile-ID program page and record any issuer or enrollment change before scheduling a qualification session.

  3. Keep a documented physical-ID fallback and train staff that “Unable to verify” is not an age decision.

  4. Prepare a managed Android verifier profile with NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy, secure device management, and a tested offline operating procedure.

  5. Review the age-check workflow with privacy and security stakeholders: Laurel requests only age_over_21, sets intentToRetain=false, and does not retain patron identity.

Keep the fallback visible: Acceptance requirements depend on applicable law, merchant policy, and the issuing authority. Laurel’s technical compatibility status is not a legal determination.

Qualification participation

Maintain evidence and qualify the remaining Montana wallet path.

Eligible credential holders, merchants, hardware partners, and resellers can volunteer for a controlled test. Qualification mode is marked “NOT FOR COMMERCE,” requires an operator-selected jurisdiction and wallet, and creates a separate privacy-safe qualification event. A successful test never promotes a wallet automatically.

Can you participate in an in-person controlled test?

This contact record is handled separately from verification telemetry. Do not submit a driver-license number, date of birth, document image, wallet screenshot, credential payload, or verification-event detail.

Frequently asked questions

Montana mobile-ID questions.

Is a mobile ID from Montana available in Apple Wallet?

Yes. Apple’s current official availability page lists Montana. That confirms wallet availability, not Laurel production support.

Is a mobile ID from Montana available in Google Wallet?

Yes. Google’s current official availability page lists Montana. That confirms wallet availability, not Laurel production support.

Does LaurelID support production age verification for Montana?

The checked-in registry records completed qualification evidence for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, but live operational API status is required before this page can answer yes. If that status is unavailable or suspended, Laurel makes no production-support claim and staff must use the documented physical-ID fallback.

What information does LaurelID request from a mobile ID issued by Montana?

The verifier requests only the ISO mdoc age_over_21 predicate and sets intentToRetain=false. It does not fall back to requesting a date of birth, name, address, portrait, or document number.
