COLORADO (KOAA) — The Governor's Office of Information Technology has released the new Colorado Digital ID Verifier through myColorado for businesses and government entities.
The new verifier will allow businesses and government to verify the authenticity of Colorado Digital IDs through the app and enhance security.
Now, the state recommends that anyone trying to verify a Colorado Digital ID should use the verifier, rather than relying solely on the ID image.
To use the verifier, Coloradans will present a secure QR code, and the verifying organization will scan it to confirm authenticity through their own myColorado app's verifier function.
If a "Verification failed" message is shown, businesses should request to see another form of ID, such as a physical license, state-issued ID, or passport.
The governor's office says the new security system will assist in strengthening the trust in digital IDs, reduce the risk of fraud, and make it easier for all Coloradans to use the Colorado Digital ID.
