INDIANAPOLIS — You’ll soon be able to carry a copy of your driver’s license on your cell phone.

Gov. Holcomb has signed a bill allowing the BMV to offer a secure, digital driver’s license app to go with your plastic card.

Instead of digging around for your ID at the bar or during a traffic stop, you would just grab your cell phone.

The Indiana BMV would pay for the program, but the cost is still undetermined.

The BMV hopes to do a pilot program in 2020 with help from states that already have the licenses, like Louisiana.

The digital driver’s license app should be ready for Hoosiers to use by 2021.
