📝 About this app
Now live in Pilot Phase – California DMV Mobile Wallet
Californians now have a secure way to present their driver’s license or identification card using their smartphones via a Mobile Driver’s License (mDL) digital credential.
California DMV Wallet gives you the control of the driver’s license data you share with others. For example, when buying age-restricted items, the app can confirm you are of legal age without having to share your birth date or address.
With mDL in your CA DMV Wallet, you can breeze through the TSA queue at the airports using your phone. You can also enroll in the TruAge program via the Wallet Marketplace to purchase age-verified products at a corner store near you (starting with select pilot locations in California and expanding nationally). The Wallet will soon be supporting online identity verification for government and commercial applications.
Designed with California's diverse population in mind, the CA DMV Wallet open-source platform uses state-of-the-art encryption algorithms and security technologies to combat fraud and reduce identity theft while improving privacy, transparency, and access for all Californians with a smartphone.
Important note: While the mDL can be used as an official state-issued ID, per the pilot scope approved by the California legislature, you must still have a physical driver’s license or identification card with you.

★☆☆☆☆ This would be a great app if you didn't have to verify your ID so often. Verify every 30 days
It just seems that every time you need the ID, it prompts you to verify, which requires you to take your own photo and your driver's license, then submit it electronically to the DMV.
It might make more sense to use Face ID to unloc…
★☆☆☆☆ Doesn’t function at half the capacity of the website
It doesn’t work. Forma submitted through the app do not go through. The verification process isn’t fully programmed.
This app needs to be deleted and remade.…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
