Law Enforcement FAQs
Can I use my Virginia Mobile ID to drive?
Yes, your Virginia Mobile ID is a valid driver's license. However, at this time, it is necessary to have your physical driver’s license on hand as a backup until Virginia Mobile ID acceptance is more widespread across law enforcement agencies.
If I am stopped by law enforcement and want to present my Virginia Mobile ID, what should I do?
Let the officer know your driver's license is a Virginia Mobile ID and wait for their instructions. Not all law enforcement agencies have the same acceptance capabilities, so notifying the officer first reduces confusion and ensures they're prepared to accept it.
Can law enforcement see any information on my phone if I present my Virginia Mobile ID during a traffic stop?
The officer receives your information that you consent to sharing before you authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. They cannot see any other content on your phone, and you don't need to unlock or hand over your device in order to verify your ID.
¿Puedo elegir qué información se comparte con el cumplimiento de la ley?
Durante las interacciones con el cumplimiento de la ley, se le requerirá compartir toda la información que aparece en su tarjeta de identificación física.
How can I tell if a law enforcement officer has read my Virginia Mobile ID?
Consulte su historial de transacciones. Toque cualquier transacción para ver la fecha, los datos compartidos y la información sobre la agencia que la solicitó.
What information does law enforcement receive when I present my Virginia Mobile ID?
They receive the same information they would from your physical driver’s license. The verification process mirrors a traditional traffic stop. No additional data or checks are introduced when you use your Virginia Mobile ID.
What happens if my device is out of battery, lost, or damaged? Can I still present my Virginia Mobile ID?
Debe poder mostrar su licencia de conducir cuando se lo solicite el cumplimiento de la ley. Si no puede acceder a su identificación en Apple Wallet, deberá presentar su licencia de conducir física en su lugar.
What if I’m from out of state - can I present my state’s Mobile ID from another state?
If the law enforcement agency has the ability to accept digital IDs, they will be able to accept your out of state mobile driver’s license. Keep in mind that acceptance varies by agency, so carrying your physical card is still required.
