Your ID in your phone or watch
Introducing Mobile Driver's License in Samsung Wallet. In select states,1 you can now add your Driver's License or State ID to Samsung Wallet and use it at participating TSA checkpoints. Instead of taking out your physical ID and passing it to a TSA Officer, you can open your Mobile Driver's License, authenticate, and tap or scan to verify your ID on a TSA digital identity reader.
Where you can use it
Mobile Driver's License is currently available to Driver’s License and State ID holders from select states for use at TSA checkpoints in participating airports.2 We plan to add more states on an ongoing basis.
It's secure and private
With fingerprint or PIN required for access, and with Samsung Knox on your Galaxy phone or watch, your Mobile Driver's License is secure. The personal information from your Driver's License or State ID is encrypted.
More to Come
This is just the beginning for Mobile Driver's Licenses. In addition to new states, we look forward to adding uses beyond TSA checkpoints , some of which are currently not even possible with a physical ID.
How to get your Mobile Driver's License
You have two options to present your Mobile Driver's License. See FAQ for how to provision your Galaxy watch.
Step 1
