康涅狄格州手机电子身份证11月18日上线：可在机场安检直接使用
康涅狄格州机动车管理局近日宣布，该州的手机电子身份证「Connecticut Mobile ID」将于11月18日正式上线。总部位于康涅狄格州哈特福德县韦瑟斯菲尔德镇的该机构表示，这款免费应用将上架苹果 App Store 与 Google Play，居民今后可在手机上携带驾驶执照或州身份证的数字版本，用于核验身份与年龄。
开通电子身份证需要申请人持有实体驾驶执照或身份证来完成设置。州车管局强调，电子身份证定位是实体证件的补充而非替代，居民仍应随身携带实体证件；执法人员在执法过程中不接受以电子身份证替代实体驾照，电子身份证也不能用于投票或充当快速通行凭证。
上线之初，美国运输安全管理局（TSA）将在全美参与该计划的机场安检点接受康涅狄格州电子身份证，其中包括该州的布拉德利国际机场与特威德纽黑文机场。州消费者保护厅将在接下来一个月内向有意接受电子身份证的企业与行业持牌方提供指引；企业需使用兼容的验证应用来核验电子证件，但不被强制要求接受。
在隐私设计方面，州车管局表示，持证人的个人信息安全地存储在设备本身而非应用服务器上；当验证方请求读取信息时，用户可以先查看对方请求的内容，再决定批准或拒绝共享。
州长内德·拉蒙特（Ned Lamont）表示，其政府把让州政府服务更易于获取、更便捷作为优先事项，推动更多服务上线并进入移动设备，身份证数字化是这一努力的又一步。州车管局长托尼·格雷拉（Tony Guerrera）表示，随着更多企业与机构具备核验电子证件的能力，该计划今后有望进一步扩展使用场景。州行政服务厅也参与了电子身份证的开发工作。
Connecticut Mobile ID Launches November 18 and Will Be Accepted at Airport Security Checkpoints
The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles has announced that Connecticut Mobile ID will officially launch on November 18. The department, headquartered in Wethersfield, in Hartford County, Connecticut, said the free app will be available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, giving residents a secure digital version of their driver's license or state identification card that can be used to verify identity and age from a mobile device.
Residents will need their existing physical license or ID card to complete the setup process. The DMV emphasizes that Mobile ID is designed to complement, not replace, a physical driver's license or ID card, and that residents should continue carrying their physical credential. Law enforcement will not accept Mobile ID as a substitute for a physical driver's license, and the digital credential cannot be used for voting or as a flash pass.
At launch, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will accept Connecticut Mobile ID at participating airport security checkpoints nationwide, including Bradley International Airport and Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut. The state Department of Consumer Protection will provide information over the next month to businesses and industry license holders that may choose to accept the digital credential; businesses will need a compatible verification app to validate it, but will not be required to accept it.
On privacy, the DMV says personal information is stored securely on the device itself rather than in the app, and that users can review what information a verifier is requesting and choose whether to approve or decline before anything is shared.
"Our administration has made it a priority to make state government more accessible and convenient to access by putting more services online and available through mobile devices. Digitizing IDs is another step forward in that effort," said Governor Ned Lamont. DMV Commissioner Tony Guerrera called the launch a major milestone for the agency and said the state expects the program to develop as more businesses and organizations become able to verify the digital credentials. The Department of Administrative Services also took part in bringing Mobile ID to Connecticut.
