1. A device for providing a digital identification card to a mobile device associated with a user, the device comprising:
a memory storing software instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the software instructions to perform a set of operations, the operations comprising:
updating, for a mobile device, a digital identification card by:
receiving, automatically from an identification-requiring organization on an as-needed basis or periodically, identification information associated with a user and further associated with the mobile device, wherein the identification information is stored in an account holder identification information database, identification-requiring organization information associated with the identification-requiring organization, wherein the identification-requiring organization information is stored in an identification-requiring organization database, and formatting information for the digital identification card;
identifying the identification-requiring organization based on the received identification information;
selecting a digital identification card template from a stored database of templates based on the formatting information;
populating the digital identification card template with the received identification information and identification-requiring organization information by accessing the account holder identification information database and the identification-requiring organization database to create an updated digital identification card; and
verifying the updated digital identification card with the identification-requiring organization;
generating data for displaying the updated digital identification card on the mobile device;
receiving new formatting information associated with the identification-requiring organization based on a change in formatting standards of the identification-requiring organization;
updating the format of the updated digital identification card based on the new formatting information; and
providing, to the mobile device, the data for displaying the updated digital identification card, wherein the digital identification card is downloaded onto the mobile device in a document format of the identification card that is separate from the generated digital identification card.
