What Are Digital ID Cards?
Imagine a secure version of your driver's license
stored safely on your smartphone. That's a
digital ID, a mobile driver's license (mDL) or
electronic ID.  It contains verified information
issued by trusted sources like your state's DMV.
mDLs include your name, photo, birth date, and
driving restrictions. They verify age in-store or
online and can be used for identity checks, such
as applying for loans.  One key benefit is that
in some states, users can share only necessary
details, like age and photo, providing extra
privacy.

Louisiana, and California, have digital ID
programs, while others are exploring feasibility.

How does mDL work?
States typically develop their own mobile
driver's license apps or allow connection with
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet to store your ID,
though programs vary by state.

Your business may need a specific app from the
