  1. Download the CA DMV Wallet App on your mobile device.

  2. Add your driver’s license into the wallet.

  3. Click “Start” button and follow the steps to add and save your DPPP identification credentials in your wallet.

Note You can use the CA DMV Wallet App to safely show your DPPP identification credentials to parking attendants, police, or anyone who needs proof that you have a disabled parking placard.

You can access your credentials anytime and anywhere as long as you have your device.

While digital credentials can be more private and easier to use, you should always carry your physical, government-issued identification card with you. This makes sure you can prove your identity in any situation. Not all businesses, government agencies, or police have the technology or the protocols in place to check and accept digital credentials.

You have full control over your personal information. With tools like “selective disclosure,” you can share only what is needed. For example, you can prove you are over 21 without showing your exact birthday.
