Your ID in your phone

Introducing Mobile Driver's License on Samsung Wallet. In select states,1 you can now add your Driver's License or State ID to Samsung Wallet and use it at participating TSA checkpoints. Instead of taking out your physical ID and passing it to a TSA Officer, you can open your Mobile Driver’s License, authenticate, and tap or scan to verify your ID on a TSA digital identity reader.

Where you can use it

Mobile Driver's License is currently available to Driver’s License and State ID holders from select states for use at TSA checkpoints in participating airports.2 We plan to add more states on an ongoing basis.

It's secure and private

With fingerprint or PIN required for access, and with Samsung Knox on your Galaxy phone, your Mobile Driver's License is secure. The personal information from your Driver's License or State ID is encrypted.

More to Come

This is just the beginning for Mobile Driver's Licenses. In addition to new states, we look forward to adding uses beyond TSA checkpoints , some of which are currently not even possible with a physical ID.

θFor a limited time only, on Samsung.com or Shop Samsung App. When purchasing a new qualifying Galaxy device (“Qualifying Purchase”), send in your qualifying trade-in device to Samsung through the Samsung Trade-In Program, and if Samsung determines your trade-in device meets all eligibility requirements, you will receive a trade-in credit specific to your qualifying trade-in device to apply toward your Qualifying Purchase. Device models that currently qualify for trade-in and trade-in credit amounts associated with those models are available on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung App; eligible models and amounts may change at Samsung’s sole discretion. To be eligible for trade-in, your qualifying device must meet all Trade-In Program eligibility requirements, which include, but are not limited to, that the device powers on, holds a charge, and does not power off unexpectedly; has a functioning display; has no breaks or cracks in the screen (unless a cracked screen offer applies); has no breaks or cracks in the case; has no liquid damage (whether visible or not); has no other defects that go beyond normal wear and tear; is not on a black list; has a verified FCC ID; has been reset to factory settings; has all personal information removed; has all software locks disabled; and is owned by you (leased devices are not eligible). Anticipated trade-in value will be applied as a credit at time of purchase, but, if you do not send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase, or if you send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase but Samsung determines your device does not meet all eligibility requirements, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase minus $25. Participation in this program does not excuse you from contracts with your carrier or retailer (or any related payments or fees) for the device that was traded in. Limit 1 trade-in per Qualifying Purchase. Samsung reserves the right to modify or discontinue this offer at any time. The Trade-In Program cannot be combined with any other Samsung, carrier or retailer promotions, discounts, or offers unless specifically provided for in the terms and conditions of such offers.
