Using the mDL Reader to Verify Customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you and your employees install the DMV Wallet app<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to accept the California mDL from customers for age and identity verification. No new hardware is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to use it:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
