The launch expands access to Oklahoma Digital ID and gives customers another option for carrying their identification on a mobile device.

The digital credential is optional and does not replace a physical Driver License or State ID. Customers should continue to carry their physical credential.

Tulsa airport accepts digital IDs

Oklahomans can present their Driver License or State ID stored in Google Wallet at participating TSA checkpoints at Tulsa International Airport and OKC Will Rogers International Airport.

The digital ID can also be presented at participating businesses and organizations equipped to securely verify it.

Businesses can verify digital IDs

Service Oklahoma is expanding resources for businesses and organizations that want to accept Oklahoma Digital ID.

Oklahoma Reader, a free verification app from Service Oklahoma, allows businesses to verify only the information needed for a transaction. For example, a business can verify whether a customer is 21 or older without storing the customer’s information or a record of the transaction.

The Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission has provided guidance allowing businesses to accept Oklahoma Digital ID for age and identity verification when the credential is electronically verified using an ISO-compliant reader.

Businesses and organizations can find information about accepting Digital ID, Oklahoma Reader resources and regulatory guidance through Service Oklahoma.
