Law Enforcement Mobile Driver’s License & mDL Reader FAQs
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.
