Daily News | Can I see some ID? Pennsylvanians could be using mobile ID on their phones soon

In his memo to colleagues, Miller suggested that members of the House look at states like Louisiana’s mobile ID system — the state that initially inspired Miller to bring the idea to Pennsylvania in 2016. In Louisiana, they developed their own mobile app that residents can download and use to drive, have interactions with police and make age-restricted purchases. They still issue physical IDs too.

While it’s taken the better half of a decade to try and get the bill passed in Pennsylvania, Miller sees this as a positive because now there are almost a dozen other states to take notes from.

and said they are “exploring the concept.” Of course, they can’t move forward in any capacity without legislators passing a law first.If the bill is passed by Pennsylvania congress this year, Miller expects there to be a 12-month implementation period before the system officially rolls out to all residents. In that case, Pennsylvanians could see a digital driver’s license in the next two years.

Miller said he plans to reintroduce the mobile ID bill to the PA House when they reconvene for the 2023 session, which officially starts in late February. While the bill hasn’t passed before, he believes there is more interest now to collaborate and work on a concept that works for everyone. “I’ve introduced this every term for the last couple terms,” Miller said. “We are finding that PennDOT recently just expressed a little greater interest in the idea, so we want to try to work with them. I’m not wedded to what I have written over the last couple terms, it’s more of a concept. So we are working with [PennDOT] to craft something that they can support more readily.”
