Mississippi pushes digital driver’s licenses as a form of digital ID

States are increasing doing the same.

Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs) are now available in the state of Mississippi, the latest state to adopt a form of digital ID in the United States. The state’s Department of Public Safety announced plans for the mDL towards the end of 2021.

The state has partnered with biometrics and identity solution provider IDEMIA to introduce the mobile ID to residents. It will be available via a free app on iOS and Android devices.

Enrolling requires uploading images of the physical driver’s license. Authentication requires facial biometrics. There is a video on the public safety department’s website explaining to residents how to enroll.
