Didn’t Work

Forgot my ID on me and was trying to buy alcohol. Remembered I had this app but the TRU ID AGE VERIFICATION did not work. Needs more improvements

Renewal

I don’t get why we need to renew manually. Theoretically, a phone always belongs to the owner who has the driver’s license, so it can always renew behind the scene if needs must.

Needs do not must.

Great Innovation

This may be the greatest improvement to the California driver license since driver photographs were added in 1958.

FAQ

What is the California DMV Wallet?

The California DMV Wallet is a mobile application that allows Californians to securely present their driver's license or identification card using their smartphones. It functions as a digital credential (mDL) that gives users control over the data they share.

What are the key features of the CA DMV Wallet?

Key features include securely presenting your digital driver's license or ID, confirming age without sharing your birth date or address, using it for TSA queues at airports, and enrolling in programs for age-verified purchases. It also offers advanced security to combat fraud and reduce identity theft.

Is the CA DMV Wallet free to use?

Yes, the California DMV Wallet is free to download and use. The application is designed to be convenient, secure, and accessible for all eligible Californians.

Can I use the digital ID instead of my physical driver's license?

While the mDL can be used as an official state-issued ID, per the pilot scope, you must still carry your physical driver's license or identification card with you. The digital version complements, but does not fully replace, the physical card during this pilot phase.

Who is the CA DMV Wallet for?

This app is for California residents who have a smartphone and want a secure and convenient way to present their driver's license or ID for age verification, airport security, and other identity-related needs.
