The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles along with IDEMIA and Samsung have launched West Virginia mobile ID to Samsung Wallet. West Virginians can now have a fast, safe and convenient digital version of the state-issued driver license or ID card stored in their Samsung Wallet.

West Virginia residents can use the mobile ID from their Samsung Wallet to verify their identities directly from their mobile phones at TSA PreCheck Checkpoints at participating airports across the country. This digital solution is designed to streamline interactions with government agencies, businesses and various service providers, offering a modern method of identification. West Virginia residents will now have access to security and convenience when presenting their ID for airport security screening, age-restricted products and other identity checks.

“Having the opportunity to provide West Virginia with a Mobile ID will only enhance the citizen experience by moving the state in a direction that keeps us moving forward with more advanced technology.” said DMV Commissioner Everett Frazier.

The West Virginia mID app was created with IDEMIA’s patented technologies and a focus on privacy and interoperability at the forefront of the technology. The app is also designed to conform to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for the mobile driving license (ISO 18013-5), offering a high level of assurance that West Virginia residents and relying parties of mobile ID can trust.
