AIG Confirms the Project is Ready for Launch: Digital Driver’s Licenses
The digital licensing initiative is not unique to Panama. Several countries in the region, such as Brazil and Argentina, have already implemented similar systems.
The necessary technical assessments have already been completed to ensure that the tool works safely and can be integrated with validation systems. The National Authority for Government Innovation (AIG) confirmed that the digital driver’s license project is in a very advanced stage and that its official launch will take place in the coming weeks, once the Transit and Land Transportation Authority (ATTT) defines the exact date.
The director of the AIG, Adolfo Fábrega, explained that, although the start of the project was announced in 2025, it has not yet been launched for users. However, he stated that the necessary technical evaluations have already been completed to ensure that the tool works safely and can be integrated with the validation systems used by law enforcement.
“We at AIG conducted an evaluation, not only of the tool’s quality, but also of its integration with and use by the police force to validate these licenses. Remember, having a digital license is one thing, but the police officer’s ability to validate it is another. All of that integration has already been completed,” Fábrega noted.
