App description
This app is for Alaska residents to obtain and use their Alaska Mobile ID. As with your physical driver license, please confirm anyone requesting to verify your Alaska Mobile ID before providing your consent.

Alaska Mobile ID by Thales is an official app-based version of your Alaska driver license or ID card, and a secure, convenient and contactless way to digitally provide your proof of identity or age using your smartphone or other supported smart device. Use your Alaska Mobile ID with businesses and/or law enforcement who accept mobile driver licenses.

Once you download this app, you will need to activate your Alaska Mobile ID with the Alaska DMV before use – instructions are in the app and easy to follow. After activating, you can launch Alaska Mobile ID on your smart device, select the type of verification needed,
and present the screen for scanning by a participating business or law enforcement. Your smart device does not leave your hand when being verified, making Alaska Mobile ID a contact-free and convenient way to display proof of identity or age.

Although Alaska Mobile ID by Thales is an official credential offered by the Alaska DMV, it does not replace your Alaska driver license or ID card. Alaska law requires carrying the physical driver license when operating a motor vehicle.

Powered by Thales, a leader in digital identity and security worldwide, Alaska Mobile ID is a convenient and secure digital companion to your current Alaska driver license. Similar to your physical Alaska driver license or ID, your Alaska Mobile ID can be used whenever you need to confirm your driving privilege, your identity or proof of your age. This includes:

•Proving your identity and driving privileges during a traffic stop with Law Enforcement.
•Proving your age to a retailer when purchasing age-restricted items like alcohol or tobacco, or when entering age-restricted venues like bars or casinos.

Alaska Mobile ID uses Thales’ strong security standards along with digital verification processes to ensure your personal information is always kept safe and private. This advanced technology offers superior protection against counterfeiting or fraud and ensures only the information necessary for each situation is shared. Since your smartphone is always with you, so is your Alaska Mobile ID. No more shuffling through your wallet to find your license. No more handing your license to someone else. When you use your Alaska Mobile ID, your smartphone or smart device stays in your hands. You’re always in control.
