IDEMIA Public Security partners with West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles and Samsung

IDEMIA Public Security North America, in partnership with the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Samsung, has announced the launch of the West Virginia Mobile ID to Samsung Wallet.

West Virginia Residents can now securely store their mobile ID in their Samsung Wallet on a Samsung Galaxy device and use the credential to verify their identities directly from their mobile phones at TSA checkpoints at participating airports across the country.

IDEMIA believes that the launch of West Virginia mobile ID in the Samsung Wallet will continue to streamline interactions with businesses and various service providers with elevated convenience and security.

West Virginia residents can easily access their mobile ID in the Samsung Wallet by tapping their phone near the mobile ID reader or having the mobile ID reader scan the QR code. West Virginians can also continue to access their mobile ID through the free West Virginia Mobile ID app, which IDEMIA built and rolled out for West Virginia in December 2024.

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Samsung and West Virginia to provide West Virgina residents with another convenient and trusted way to use their mobile ID credentials through the Samsung mobile wallet,” said Rob Gardner, CEO, IDEMIA Civil Identity North America. “This collaboration underscores IDEMIA’s commitment to accelerating the adoption of mobile IDs.

“Integrating identification credentials into everyday devices like smartphones is a game-changer for digital identity and security. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about empowering residents with seamless and secure access to their credentials whenever they need them.

“With security at the forefront, mobile IDs ensure personal information can only be accessed and shared if the user agrees to.”

Arizona, Delaware, Iowa, Mississippi, and New York are additional states that have rolled out IDEMIA’s mobile ID technology. To learn more about West Virginia’s mobile ID and how to place it in the Samsung Wallet, click here.
