This page tracks current digital ID and mobile driver’s license availability in Colorado. Current program status: Available / Live. Colorado supports mobile driver licenses in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet and the official myColorado app. Wallet and state-app availability can change as issuers expand or revise their programs.
The myColorado app offers two distinct credentials. The older Colorado Digital ID is an electronic representation of a driver license or state ID intended for in-state identification, age and address verification where accepted. The newer myColorado mobile driver license (mDL) is a separately issued, cryptographically secured credential meeting the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard. It supports compatible identity readers, including those used at participating TSA airport checkpoints. The myColorado mDL requires iOS 17.0 or Android 13.0 or later, while the app’s older Digital ID feature supports earlier operating-system versions. Other supported wallets have their own device and software requirements.
Colorado residents can present eligible mDL credentials at participating TSA checkpoints, including Denver International Airport (DEN), subject to the checkpoint’s supported verification methods and credential requirements. The older Colorado Digital ID alone is not accepted for TSA identity verification. For details about TSA-compatible mobile identity verification, including acceptance limitations, see the dedicated TSA Digital ID information. Colorado law still requires drivers to carry their physical driver license while operating a motor vehicle. Digital credentials remain optional companions to physical identification, and acceptance by businesses, law enforcement and other agencies varies.

Colorado digital ID wallet support
Digital ID ecosystems are issued and updated by state authorities and wallet providers. A “No” above means the bundled dataset does not currently list that wallet as supported for this jurisdiction; it does not mean support can never be added.
Where can you use it?
Acceptance varies by verifier and location. Mobile IDs may work at supported TSA checkpoints and at participating businesses or government services, but a digital credential should not be assumed to replace the physical card everywhere.
Do you still need the physical ID?
Yes. Current wallet-provider and issuing-authority guidance generally treats mobile ID as a companion to the physical credential, so carrying the physical card remains recommended.
