The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Governor Jim Justice, and IDEMIA Public Security North America have announced the launch of the Mobile ID (mID) program in the state.

The mID pilot program, which began on December 10, 2024, is progressing smoothly, with enrollment running without issues. The mID will be made available to the general public by the end of the year and will be compatible with both Apple and Android devices.

The West Virginia mID app will allow residents to securely store and manage their identification credentials on their smartphones. Users can verify their identity at TSA PreCheck checkpoints at participating airports across the country, streamlining travel experiences. This digital solution is designed to simplify interactions with government agencies, businesses and other service providers, offering a modern secure form of identification.

Additionally, West Virginia residents can expect the mID to expand to OEM wallets in the near future.
