Arkansas Residents Can Use Samsung Wallet for Secure Mobile ID Access

IDEMIA Public Security North America has recently launched a new feature that allows residents of Arkansas to store their identities securely within the Samsung Wallet on their Galaxy devices. This innovative solution was developed in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA)'s Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles, as well as Samsung itself.

The new Arkansas Mobile ID offers a convenient way for Arkansans to verify their identities. This digital credential can be utilized at TSA checkpoints across participating airports such as Little Rock (LIT) and Northwest Arkansas (XNA), ensuring smooth and quick identity verification for travelers. Furthermore, the Mobile ID can enable users to confirm their identities at various businesses and organizations, significantly improving the convenience and security for the local populace.

Arkansans are now able to effortlessly access their Mobile ID by simply tapping their devices near mobile ID readers or scanning QR codes. Additionally, the original Arkansas mobile ID app, launched by IDEMIA earlier this year, continues to be available for those who prefer that method for identity verification.

According to Rob Gardner, CEO of IDEMIA Civil Identity, this launch signifies an important advancement in enabling residents to securely manage their personal identification. He expressed excitement over continuing partnerships with both the Arkansas DFA and Samsung to foster trust in the community regarding privacy and security. Gardner noted, "We are committed to using the most popular platforms for providing residents with easy access to their credentials."

To add an Arkansas driver's license or state ID to Samsung Wallet, residents can follow a straightforward process. By tapping the Add (+) button in the 'Quick Access' tab of the Samsung Wallet app and selecting 'Digital IDs,' users will be guided through the necessary steps to securely set up and verify their identities.

This innovative step in digital identity management not only boosts the convenience for Arkansas residents but also aligns with the growing trend towards secure mobile solutions. As more financial institutions, businesses, and government agencies adopt similar technologies, user confidence in mobile identity solutions will likely increase.
