Description
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.

Refuses to scan dl back side
This option has been great to have for simple verifications.
It doesn’t let you make appointments like it says I’ve been trying for five times. This is the furthest I’ve ever gotten.
This make it’s easy incase I forget my wallet thank you dmv
I do not see the need to continually refresh.
Great
Wow what a wonderful service at DMV has
Love it nice and easy to download
Yes, I took a minute
Great app, but you have to renew it, and it’s not intuitive
The process was so fast and simple. It took me less than 3minutes.
Always needs a refresh or reset. Can’t see how this works or helps.
