L-Tron is pleased to share our attendance at the 2026 Georgia Association of Chief’s of Police Spring Training Conference (GACP). The team will be showcasing our new L-Tron mobile driver’s license reader (mDLR-1).
A mobile driver’s license, or mDL, is a digital version of your driver’s license issued by the state department of motor vehicles (DMV). Typically, these are stored in a dedicated app or a digital wallet on the user’s mobile device. An mDL contains a driver’s identity and credentials in digital form.
Since mDL technology is so new, it comes as no surprise that law enforcement officers have plenty of questions about the new technology. Here are the answers to several frequently asked questions around mDLs and the L-Tron mDL Reader, built specifically for law enforcement to read mobile IDs at traffic stops.
Georgia has become the first state to pass key legislation around the acceptance of mobile/digital driver’s license with House Bill 296.
Georgia House Bill 296 currently “allows, but does not compel, law enforcement to accept digital versions of licenses/IDs.” However, state law enforcement agencies will be required to accept and verify digital IDs beginning July 1, 2027. This means that changes are on the way for Georgia law enforcement agencies.
See what this means for patrol officers and how L-Tron’s mDL Reader (mDLR-1) can help.
Traditionally, driver’s licenses have been issued on a sturdy, plastic card that fits in a wallet. Today’s drivers frequently have an additional option: a mobile driver’s license, also known as an mDL or mID (mobile ID).
Discover the differences between mDLs vs. physical driver’s licenses, including how these different forms of identification could be processed at a traffic stop.

Welcome back to our “Officer’s Guide to eCitation” series. Today, we’re going to find out more about electronic ticketing software – the “brains” behind the eCitation process. The software inputs the data from a driver’s license into a citation form, accident report or incident repot. Electronic ticketing software also keeps information records and transmits the data back to your agency.
Welcome back to Part 3 of our series on electronic ticketing equipment for the patrol car. As we’ve mentioned in Parts 1 and 2, there isn’t a “one size fits all” when it comes to having an effective eCitation setup in your patrol vehicle. Learn more about mobile printers for your patrol vehicle.
Welcome back to our eCitation guide for your modern patrol car. As we discussed in Part 1, there isn’t one clear-cut answer to the question of what equipment a patrol car needs. Why? Because each agency is unique, with differing preferences and needs. What all agencies have in common is the need to best serve & protect their community.
