The move to go digital is part of the DMV's mobile driver's license pilot program, which launched in April 2023, allowing participants to add their driver's license or state-issued ID to their mobile device using the California DMV Wallet app.
We're trying to scale up identities so that they're safe, privacy preserving and make sure that people can put it in the same device that almost none of us leave our home without.
Currently, the mDL program allows digital driver's licenses and IDs to be shown for select online retail businesses and at the Los Angeles, San Jose Mineta and San Francisco International Airports.
Gordon said, "Coming to all California commercial airports, we're being told, soon." He believes digital IDs will be a part of daily life in various forms.
