Developing new uses for the mobile driver’s license (mDL)? Projects are underway.
mDL for Technology Developers
The mDL provides a major upgrade from traditional physical credentials that can be lost, stolen, damaged, or outdated. It reduces the risk of exposing too much personal information and being counterfeited.
With the mDL in their digital wallet, Californians enjoy secure and convenient service, control what information they share, and ensure data protection.
Projects are underway to develop secure, privacy-protecting applications using the California mDL and CA DMV Wallet. We post information on this page as projects open for participation.
California mDL Community Hackathons
To further accelerate acceptance and use of mDLs, and promote the adoption of secure, privacy-preserving digital identity, the DMV is co-hosting two mDL community “hackathons” in fall 2024. The hackathons are presented in partnership with the OpenID Foundation.
