Digital professional ID cards are revolutionizing how licensing and certification authorities issue and manage credentials. These cards provide portable, verifiable authenticity for licensed professionals, allowing them to showcase certifications, licenses, badges, and other credentials with ease. Whether it’s for day-to-day professional tasks or during emergencies, digital professional ID cards ensure that professionals can quickly identify themselves and carry out their responsibilities efficiently.
Key Benefits of Digital Professional ID Cards for Licensing Authorities
Remote Issuance and Management
Licensing and certification authorities can now issue digital professional ID cards remotely, offering unparalleled convenience. With ID123’s ID Management System (IDMS), administrators of licensing and certification agencies can issue digital ID cards via email directly to professionals, either individually or in bulk. These digital ID cards can then be added onto mobile devices via the Professional ID app, eliminating the need for in-person applications or waiting for cards to arrive by mail.
This digital ID card solution not only speeds up the issuance process but also helps licensing authorities save on printing and shipping costs. With full remote management capabilities, licensing authorities can renew, deactivate, or archive ID cards with just a few clicks—ensuring a seamless experience for both administrators and professionals.
Renew Expired Cards
Expiration dates for digital professional ID cards are typically tied to the professional’s license or certification. In the traditional process with physical ID cards, professionals had to reapply for a new card after renewal. However, with digital professional ID cards, this is a thing of the past. Right from the IDMS administrators can update card expiration upon approval of a renewal application with the updated expiration date instantly being reflected on the professional’s digital ID card. Since the IDMS is web-based, licensing authorities can make these updates from any web browser anywhere in the world, eliminating the need to issue and ship new physical cards. Furthermore, the IDMS can send push notifications to alert professionals of any upcoming expiration dates, updates, or renewals, ensuring all parties stay informed.
Instant Deactivation for Enhanced Security
Another key advantage of digital professional ID cards is the ability to deactivate them instantly. Directly from the IDMS administrators can remotely manage issues ID cards If a professional’s license or certification is suspended or revoked, administrators can quickly deactivate their digital ID card from the Professional ID app. Once deactivated, access to the card will be suspended in the Professional ID Card App until reactivation. This feature ensures that only valid, active licenses are in use. Should the professional’s credentials be restored, the ID card can be reactivated just as easily.
