Delaware Aims to Be 1st With Digital Driver’s Licenses
But do you really want to hand the police your phone if you don’t have to?
Delaware is aiming to be the first state to offer virtual driver’s licenses accessed through a secure smartphone app.
“We’d like to go first,” said Jennifer Cohan, director of the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles and the governor’s nominee for secretary of transportation.
“If it works for Delaware, then it will be a new option for Delaware citizens to show proof of driver’s license and identification.”
The Legislature last week adopted a resolution directing Cohan’s agency to study and consider digital licenses for motorists.
