About
Arizona Mobile Driver License (mDL)
The Arizona Mobile Driver License (mDL) is a safe, secure, and trustable solution for presenting your driver license that allows for touchless transactions, selective information release, and data protection. There's no visual inspection of a card -- just an encrypted digital information exchange. Everything else -- a camera, credit cards, house keys, car keys, event tickets -- is on your phone and now your ID can be, too.
mDL is optional to use, and MVD will continue to issue physical, plastic credentials to Arizona residents. Arizonans should continue to carry their physical ID as awareness about mDL grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
