WASHINGTON – Millions of people may be able to show their smartphones rather than a plastic card to prove they're legit to drive, vote or buy a beer in coming years.
Louisiana in July became the first state to make digital licenses available to anyone who wants them, and at least 14 other states either have developed a program, run a pilot or are studying the possibility, according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
Slagle said digital driver's licenses won't replace plastic ones; they'll simply be a supplement. Everybody still will have to carry a physical license for the foreseeable future.
"Our plan is to eventually make it so your registration, insurance or any credential would be on LA Wallet."
