In India, there is an app which holds all your ids. We just enter the id number and required information and it will fetch the details. This includes school certificates, college certificates, driving license, birth certificate, Car/motorcycle papers and whole lot of other things.

I’m embarrassed the US doesn’t have this. You should see the absolute disaster that is digital records at the Dept. of Veteran Affairs. It’s better than it used to be and it’s still terrible.

Almost none of the information listed by the parent is in a federal database in general, nor really should it be.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the data retrieval only works for a tiny fraction of government documents, like the Aadhaar. For everything else like college certificates, it's only storing the image you submit. At least this was my experience some years ago.

If I had to hazard a guess, there would be an app for each ID, with Wallet (or your platform's equivalent), aggregating them all. US citizen? US Gov app. Have temporary or permanent residency somewhere? Another app developed or sponsored by that government.

(i am a beta tester in a state digital ID system rollout)

In Poland something like this is widely deployed. Unfortunately it doesn't integrate with wallet.

There's a single "Mobile Citizen" app and there you download various kinds of IDs into it, by logging in to the relevant website for that ID.

Though you can't use it in place of your ID card, it's enough to get you through I.e. police identification. You can also download your driver license, student id, European covid passport, etc. onto it, and those do count as the real thing.
