A mobile driver’s license (often called an mDL) is a version of your ID that you keep on your phone instead of in your pocket.
In theory, it would work wherever your regular ID works.
Some proponents of digital IDs promise a future where you can present your phone to a clerk or bouncer and only reveal the information they need.
Not every state offers or accepts digital IDs, so if you travel often, you’ll have to carry a paper ID.
Google and Apple allow a few states to use their Wallet apps directly, while other states use a separate app.
As states move forward with digital ID plans, privacy and security are paramount.
