The government of Alberta is launching a digital platform to store all government-issued documents on mobile devices, starting with health care cards.

A digital version of Albertans’ health care cards will be the first document available in a newly launched app called the “Alberta Wallet,” which will allow residents to carry and manage government-issued documents on their phones, Premier Danielle Smith said at an Aug. 29 press conference.
