DMV Mobile Licenses Expand | Bakersfield News

California’s DMV just took a giant leap forward—Governor Newsom signed a bill expanding the mobile driver’s license pilot to up to 60% of licensed drivers. No more waiting in lines or hunting for your physical card: now you can store your license in your phone via Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. While the physical card is still required for driving, this digital option is already helping cities like San Jose and San Diego lead the charge. The DMV’s broader digital push—90% of transactions now online, QR codes, digital signatures—is making state services faster and more modern. And don’t worry, your data’s safe: they’re not tracking usage or sharing info without your permission. It’s not a full replacement yet, but it’s a major step toward a smarter, more convenient future.
