Login.gov is now accepting mobile driver’s licenses

Login.gov began widely accepting mobile driver’s licenses for digital identity verification services last month, providing protections against artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes and counterfeit identity documents, the General Services Administration announced Tuesday.

Users of the federal government’s identity verification platform can use an eligible mobile driver’s license from a digital wallet on their smartphone to share information required for identity proofing, according to the agency. 

Login.gov currently supports mobile driver’s licenses stored in Google Wallet and Samsung Wallet but is in the process of adding support for other sources, GSA said.

The agency said the platform’s implementation “is narrowly scoped to identity proofing for access to government services and gives users an additional, rather than mandatory, option.”

“The new process grants users greater control over their privacy, as they can preview and share only the specific attributes required for verification rather than their entire document,” GSA added.

Mobile driver’s licenses use cryptographic verification to confirm that a digital credential is valid and not altered. As of March 2026, 20 states and one territory offer mobile driver’s licenses, making them available to approximately 71.5 million drivers.

Agency officials previously said they planned to add mobile driver’s licenses to Login.gov by March of this year.

GSA said the new feature builds on a recent Office of Management and Budget directive mandating agencies to use Login.gov and other efforts to boost use of the service, such as lower pricing.
