# Abstract
This document specifies an API to enable [user agents](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#user-agent) to mediate presentation and issuance of digital credentials such as a driver's license, government-issued identification card, and/or [other types of digital credential](https://w3c-fedid.github.io/digital-credentials/#dfn-credential-type-examples). The API builds on [Credential Management Level 1](https://www.w3.org/TR/credential-management-1/) as a means by which to request or issue a digital credential from a user agent or underlying platform.

# Status
**ED**

# Is it a delta specification intended to become a W3C Recommendation?

# Link to group's decision to request transition
**[in progress]**
