User Flow

To see an example: watch this video

The CA DMV verification flow works on mobile and desktop. On desktop, users are presented a QR code which they scan in order to open the CA DMV Wallet application. On mobile, the user clicks a button which deep-links them to their CA DMV Wallet application. In both cases, the user is taken to their mobile app where they complete a FaceID authentication and consent to share the requested data.
