Re: Level 5 Authentication — DID Method Registration Request: did:verifiedcar

*Hi Taher,*

Good day. You are welcome to follow the process for did method
registration: https://github.com/w3c/did-extensions

Also note that the website verifiedcar.com is not available; so that needs
to be live as well and formally detailed in your did method specification.

Thanks,

Otto I. Mora
