People purchasing alcohol online in NSW will be able to prove they are older than 18 by using their digital identity, following a pilot the state government is undertaking with Mastercard and same-day delivery service Tipple.
The closed pilot commenced in January and is the first commercial application of the NSW digital identity system. It allows users to seamlessly verify they are older than 18 through a Mastercard ID exchange with the NSW digital identity system.
