State of mobile ID in Washington D.C.
In February 2022, D.C. Law 24-72 went into effect allowing residents to present a Washington D.C. mobile ID. However, as of March 2025, digital ID has still not been made available to residents.
Notable elements of Law 24-72:
- Presentment of a digital ID to a law enforcement officer is an acceptable form of identification.
- Presentation of a digital ID is not considered consent for an officer to access other apps or stored items on the presenter’s mobile device.
- The digital identity can be used to prove age and identity anywhere a physical ID can.
