Virginia Mobile ID is Now Available!
If you have a valid Virginia driver’s license, then Virginia Mobile ID (mID) makes carrying your ID more convenient, more secure and much less stressful. The mID is a controlled digital method (QR Codes) for verifying your identity at places like TSA checkpoints, with Virginia State Police, at DMV centers, and pilot ABC stores.
Virginia Mobile ID is accepted at over 250 domestic airports including six airports in Virginia: Richmond, Dulles, Reagan National, Norfolk, Newport News, and Roanoke.
It’s free to obtain and can be set up with your smartphone. Your Virginia Mobile ID is a companion to your physical ID, and you’ll still need to carry a physical ID with you. In many cases, it can stay in your wallet, and your phone can do the work of verifying your identity.
