    The State of Louisiana already has a digital driver’s license app for iOS and Android.  It is accepted by police, and they don’t have to take your phone.  They can scan the barcode.  Your phone never leaves your hand.  It’s also accepted to get in many bars, etc.

    Is your phone locked or unlocked while displaying the scannable code?
    It is unlocked, but you do not give the phone to the officer.  You hold the phone and he scans the barcode on the phone.

    Now THAT is impressive!  Good Job!
    Very cool. Do all police agencies within the state have the ability to accept the Digital License? The bullet point only mentions Louisiana State Police.
    As per my point above, as good as this is, it may not eliminate the need to carry the physical license too. Even so, it would be preferable for all the other times you need to show ID.

    The State Police were involved in providing input to the app’s design and function.  I don’t know if all police agencies have the ability to accept it, but it is a legal form of identification for police agencies in the State of Louisiana.  The State has not claimed you can forego carrying your physical ID because you get the digital ID.  This is merely the first step in moving to all digital.  I still carry my physical ID as well as the digital one.  The digital one is great just in case I forget my physical ID.
