IDEMIA Public Security North America has announced the launch of California mobile ID in Samsung Wallet.

With this launch, Californians can add their mobile driver’s license or state ID to Samsung Wallet on supported Samsung Galaxy devices¹, giving them a simple and secure way to verify their identity directly from their mobile phone. California mobile ID can be used at TSA checkpoints at participating airports nationwide, including LAX, SFO, and SAN.

California mobile ID in Samsung Wallet also enables identity verification at participating businesses and organizations, expanding how and where residents can use their digital identity credential. To access their mobile ID, users can simply tap their device near a compatible reader or scan a QR code when prompted.

“Making California mobile ID available in Samsung Wallet gives residents greater choice and flexibility in how they access their identity credentials,” Rob Gardner, CEO, IDEMIA Civil Identity, said. “Partnering with Samsung, IDEMIA is helping bring trusted digital identity to the platforms people rely on every day, while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security.”

To add a California driver’s license or state ID to Samsung wallet, tap the Add (+) button in the ‘Quick Access’ tab of the Samsung Wallet app and select ‘Digital IDs.’ From there, onscreen prompts guide users through a secure identity verification process to complete set-up.
