发帖数: 1034 | 1 Iowans will soon be able to use a mobile app on their smartphones as their
official driver's license issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The app, which will be provided to drivers at no additional cost, will be
available sometime in 2015, DOT Director Paul Trombino told Gov. Terry
Branstad during a state agency budget hearing Monday.
"We are really moving forward on this," Trombino said. "The way things are
going, we may be the first in the nation."
People will still be able to stick a traditional plastic driver's license in
their wallet or purse if they choose, Trombino said. But the new digital
license, which he described as "an identity vault app," will be accepted by
Iowa law enforcement officers during traffic stops and by security officers
screening travelers at Iowa's airports, he said.
"It is basically your license on your phone," he said. |
