Apple launched its mobile driver’s license feature back in 2022, which has gradually rolled out to a handful of states since the launch. Now Samsung is also jumping into the virtual ID game as it will bring mobile driver’s licenses and state IDs to Samsung Wallet on its Android phones.

Today, Samsung announced it is bringing a new feature to its Wallet app — mobile driver’s licenses. This will allow users to have a digital version of their driver’s license or state ID stored in the app. The company states it has partnered with IDEMIA to ensure the mobile driver’s licenses are secure, accurate, and private.
