(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa Department of Motor Vehicles plans to begin a pilot program for digital I-Ds by the end of the year. The idea was first tested five years ago. Drivers would still get a physical license or I-D in the mail, but they would be allowed to download an app so they could view the card and change the information right on their phones. The state says this is driven by convenience. Most people have credit cards, banking information and other credentials on their phones right now. But, like anything on a cell phone, there are still questions about security and privacy. The app would be free the first year, then would cost five dollars-a-year after that.
