As I reported back on June 25, 2024, Mobile ID’s continue to expand. Recently, the TSA reported that over 2 dozen US airports will accept digital driver’s license instead of physical ID’s like licenses. These digital driver’s license must be issued by 1 of these 11 states

  • California

  • New York

  • Ohio

  • Georgia

  • Arizona

  • Maryland

  • Colorado

  • Louisiana

  • Iowa

  • Utah

  • Hawaii

The real question is why are only 11 states offering this service. I would love to know why New Jersey and Connecticut do not offer this service. I can understand why Florida with its crazy politics does not offer it. The weird thing is that Miami International Airport accepts mobile driver’ licenses from the 11 states but Florida is not one of them. 

As a reminder, the way it works is if you choose to participate in TSA's use of this service, your picture will be taken at the airport and compared with your physical ID or digital ID using facial recognition technology. Your photo and biographic information will be deleted from these devices after your transaction.

To use a digital ID, add your state-issued eligible driver's license or identification card to your phone using a TSA-approved digital ID app or to your digital wallet.

Use Your Eligible Digital ID at TSA Checkpoint

  • Scan your Digital ID QR code or tap your mobile device on the digital ID reader .

  • A message on your mobile device will ask you to consent to share your digital ID information with TSA.

  • Once you consent, the camera will take your picture.

  • Follow the officer's instructions.

It will be interesting to see how this adoption proceeds and what states refuse to participate. With our love of our phones, I think that the adoption curve will be pretty steep especially in the northeast.
