Mobile Driver's License (mDL) is a digital version of a physical driver's license stored on a mobile device. It contains the same information as a traditional driver's license and can be transmitted electronically to an authorized reader for authentication. Read More here

mDLs adhere to the highest security standards, employing advanced encryption and allowing for digital authentication both online and offline.

An mDL is comprised of and designed to share the same data elements as of a physical driver’s license.

After provisioning your mDL, it will remain securely stored onto your device until you delete your downloaded mDL or if you’ve logged out of your LA Wallet account or have unlinked your driver’s license from your LA Wallet account. If you’ve accidently deleted your mDL or it has been cleared by one of the mentioned scenarios, you will be required to go through the enrollment process as well as facial authentication in order to download your mDL again.

We encourage users to continue to carry a copy of their physical driver’s license. In the event that your digital ID cannot be verified at the TSA security checkpoint, you will be required to present an acceptable physical identity document in order to proceed with the verification process.
