Mobile ID, a new way to identify yourself.

What is a Mobile License or Identification (MdL)?

You can now add your license or ID to your digital wallet on your mobile device. A driver's license or mobile identification (mDL) is an electronic representation of the information contained in a driver's license or physical identification, stored on a mobile electronic device and read electronically through a compatible mobile identification reader. Mobile driver's licenses require biometric verification before information can be shared with a reader.
