Gov. Kevin Stitt said the next version of the Oklahoma Mobile ID is now available. The app has been expanded to allow Oklahoma residents to quickly and easily pre-enroll for REAL ID.

“The team at the Department of Public Safety has worked tirelessly to update systems and adapt to the challenges presented by COVID-19 in order to implement REAL ID,” said Stitt. “The updated Mobile ID app will help streamline the process and ensure Oklahomans can begin the process of pre-enrolling in the critical program.”

Mobile ID users can use the app’s checklist to confirm they have the correct documents, upload them using their smartphone camera, and answer a brief questionnaire. By completing these steps in advance, applicants can expect to decrease their time during their in-person visit by up to 40%.   Oklahoma became the second state in the nation to implement Mobile ID in 2019. 

Mobile ID is a digitized version of a physical driver’s license that allows users to safely store their identification on a smartphone.

Businesses and organizations can also verify necessary information with confidence, as credentials are continually updated against the Department of Public Safety’s system of record. 

While the digital identification is accepted in many instances, it does not currently replace a physical identification card for all situations, such as interactions with law enforcement or the Transportation Security Administration.
