Prove Your Age. Protect Your Identity.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to use your mDL to buy age-restricted products like beer, wine, tobacco, vape, and more? No problem!

Activate the TruAge capability integrated with your CA DMV Wallet when you sign up for the mDL pilot. With mDL in your CA DMV Wallet, you can enroll into TruAge for age-verified product purchases. Browse the Wallet contents (icon at the bottom of the app) and visit Wallet add-ons via the “Explore Add-ons” link. Then share your TruAge QR code at checkout at select retail locations in Sacramento to safely and securely verify your age, while protecting your privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not activate TruAge in your mDL, you will still need your physical driver\u2019s license or ID for age-restricted purchases. The mDL alone is not accepted at retail stores as proof of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Quickly scan and go.<\/strong>  No more fumbling with your wallet to find your ID.  After the cashier scans your mobile Driver\u2019s License app, TruAge instantly confirms you\u2019re good to go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Protect your data.<\/strong>  TruAge only looks at what it needs to verify your age: driver\u2019s license number, issuing state, expiration date and birthdate. TruAge never sees your other personal information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Keep it private.<\/strong> TruAge never stores or shares personal details.  An encrypted ID token ensures that your purchases can\u2019t be tracked or tied to your name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
