The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) encourages West Virginia residents to download the Mobile ID to their smartphones. You will be able to access your digital driver’s license and ID card on your smartphone.

“Simplify your life and stay secure,” said DMV Commissioner Everett Frazier. “With the Mobile ID app, your ID is always just a tap away – modern, convenient, and ready to go whenever you need it.”

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.

The app is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as well as being able to be added to Samsung Wallet.
