Background
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications announced the official deployment of a digital driving licence that can be verified through the national document verification channel at verify.gov.kh. The digital driving licence is issued for inclusion in the Personal Wallet on the DG SuperApp operated by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and citizens can use the digital credential until the licence’s expiry date.
The verify.gov.kh channel authenticates documents using a QR-code scanning standard designed to detect forged documents at point-of-check, and the system is presented as part of Cambodia’s Digital Government Policy 2022–2035 to support digital public service delivery. The verification channel provides an online mechanism for institutions and members of the public to confirm the validity of digital credentials without requiring physical document exchange.
Key Developments
The roll-out was publicly announced at the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications headquarters on 13 May 2026 and was co-presided by senior officials from both ministries together with the chair of the government’s Digital Government Commission. The event declared that citizens can now request the digital driving licence and place it in the DG SuperApp Personal Wallet immediately following the announcement.
Institutional Role
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport remains the issuing authority for driving licences while the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications provides the digital wallet and verification infrastructure; verify.gov.kh functions as the government channel for cross-institutional document verification. The Digital Government Commission is positioned as a coordinating body for aligning the digital driving licence with wider government digitalisation objectives under the 2022–2035 policy framework.
Operational Implications
Institutions and the public can perform on-the-spot verification of the digital driving licence through QR-code scanning, which removes the need to exchange multiple paper documents for routine checks. The verification process is intended to reduce administrative time and transactional costs associated with presenting physical licences for notarisation or manual validation.
