The DMV is Launching Mobile ID in Virginia
September 25, 2025
Dear State Employees,
We’re excited to announce that Virginia is launching Mobile ID—and you get early access before the statewide rollout. DMV is rolling this out exclusively to our Commonwealth Colleagues in waves between 9/25 and 10/2. Get it before anyone else does! If you were a member of the V1 test drive, you should also download this new version
With the Virginia Mobile ID app (available in the App Store and Google Play), you can securely verify your identity right from your smartphone. Unlike a photo of your license, Mobile ID protects your personal information, letting you stay in control while moving quickly through checkpoints and interactions. Please continue to carry your physical license or ID for now.
Where you can use Mobile ID today:
- TSA checkpoints at 230+ U.S. airports, including DCA, IAD, RIC, ORF, PHF, and ROA
- Virginia State Police
- In Richmond: five ABC stores and six DMV service centers (details below)
- Afterglow Brewing in Norfolk
Coming soon:
- Apple and Samsung wallet integrations
- Use at all 76 DMV service centers and 400+ ABC stores
- Acceptance by local law enforcement, polling places, casinos, racetracks, restaurants, and more
Download the app today to set up your official Mobile ID and start using it now. Learn more on DMV’s website or scan the QR code below on App Store or Google Play. The future of identification is in your hands—and we’re proud that Virginia’s state employees will lead the way.
