Projects and synergy efforts

A successful Digital ID pilot will lead to a state-wide, federated identity service where all online state services can be accessed through a single service. The long-term solution will also interoperate with mobile driver’s license processes for identity proofing as well as additional use cases to digitize other licensure and permitting applications.

Mobile Driver’s License (mDL)

The California Department of Technology (CDT) is excited to announce AccessCA (formerly California Identity Gateway) now supports reading California mobile driver's licenses (mDLs) through the CA DMV Wallet app. Beginning October 1, state agencies using AccessCA can now accept and verify mDLs, which resident can share directly from their phone.
