Mobile ID (mDL)

GOBIERNO DE
PUERTO RICO

Mobile IDs (mDL) now available in Puerto Rico.

What is a Mobile ID or mDL?

Now, you can choose to add your Puerto Rico driver’s license or ID to your digital wallet on your mobile device. The mobile ID or mobile driver’s license (mDL) is an electronic representation of the information contained on a physical driver’s license or identification card and can be verified through a certified mobile ID reader. Mobile IDs require a biometric verification before sharing information with a reader.

What are the benefits of Mobile IDs or mDLs

Contactless

Facilitates identity and/or age verification without the need to physically hand over your device or license/ID.

Security

Uses encryption and biometrics to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

Privacy

Ability to display only information necessary for verification, without sharing all of your license/ID information.

What is the difference between the CESCO Digital Virtual License and a mobile ID?

The virtual license is a visual representation of the driver’s license or ID, available through CESCO Digital. According to article 3.13-A of Law 22-2000, it is a valid document for local matters (accepted in the public and private sector), but is not accepted for federal matters (for example TSA).

The mobile driver’s license is an electronic representation of the driver’s license or ID that follows the ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 standard. It must be used with compatible mobile ID readers.

This Issuing Authority Certificate Authority (IACA) certificate can be used to verify a Puerto Rico mobile license or ID as defined by ISO 18013-5. An mDL reader needs this root certificate to validate the digital signatures on the Puerto Rico mDL and confirm the validity of the mDL data.
