What changed between the adopted text of 28 Feb 2024 and the adopted text of 21 Oct 2025

Removed:(a) retrieval and storage of data or pointer allowing to prove the driving rights of a person;

Removed:(b) display and transfer of this data or pointer.

Removed:(2) The application and other relevant systems shall comply with the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard on mobile driving licences and Regulation (EU) 910/2014.

Removed:(3) For the purposes of this Annex the holder of a mobile driving licence issued in accordance with this Directive shall only be considered its authorized user where he or she is identified as such. The primary means for identification shall be electronic identification. For the electronic identification of such persons, at least all of the electronic identification means referred to in Regulation (EU) 910/2014 shall be accepted.

Removed:(4) The relevant national system shall be the competent registry of driving licences of the Member State where the holder of the driving licence has established his or her normal residence.

Removed:(5) The application shall allow the holder of the driving licence to retrieve from the relevant national system verifiable data containing the information listed in part D and a single-use token. When part of the information listed in part D is not available in the national system, the holder of the driving licence may retrieve his or her missing data elements by other secure means (for example the photograph of the holder from his/her biometric passport by Near Field Communication).

Removed:The application shall allow to update automatically or manually the verifiable data (the data the driving licence contains on the holder under part D) from the relevant national system of the Member State of normal residence. The application shall not allow for any other means to modify the data retrieved.

Removed:The application shall allow the holder of the driving licence to display or transmit to a third party all or part of the data contained in the mobile driving licence. Competent authorities of the Member States shall be authorised to retrieve the data contained in the mobile driving licences in order to be able to ascertain the driving rights of the holder of the driving licence (verification).

Removed:The application shall allow the holder of the driving licence to transmit to a third party a single-use token retrieved from a national system. This token may be used by the receiving party to retrieve the information listed in part D from the relevant national system if the receiving party has been authorised by the Member State concerned. Competent authorities of the Member States shall be authorised to access national systems of other Member States. Member States shall ensure that once the data of the licence holder is verified the transmitted data is not retained.

Removed:The information transmitted directly from the application or retrieved with the single-use token shall allow competent authorities to determine the driving rights of the holder of the mobile driving licence (verification), including any restrictions applicable in the Union or in the territory of a Member State. Member States shall not consider data valid when it has been retrieved more than 7 days before the time of verification or when the number of the driving licence is included in the revocation list managed by the Member State which issued the mobile driving licence. A revocation list shall contain information on all driving licences which no longer entitle their holders to exercise the right to drive.

Removed:(6) By way of derogation from Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and for the sole purpose of providing the possibility of the holder of the mobile driving licence to be able to prove his or her right to drive in such situations, the features to display and transmit data or a single-use token shall remain available in the event the person identification data associated with European Digital Identity Wallets, as referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation, is invalid.

Removed:(7) The national systems shall not store or process a request based on the above-mentioned single-use token for a purpose other than implementing the provision of this Directive. For that purpose, the EU driving licence network referred to in Article 19 may be used.

Removed:(8) Holders of mobile driving licences shall have the possibility to renew, replace or exchange their driving licences in the Union through the application or a dedicated digital services portal provided by the Member States.
