ROUGE, La., May 24, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Envoc, Louisiana's
leading software development company and creator of LA Wallet, is
thrilled to announce the Transportation Security Administration's
(TSA) nationwide expansion of Mobile Driver's License (mDL)
acceptance for LA Wallet users. As of today, individuals with a
Real ID-compliant Louisiana
state-issued driver's license or identification card can utilize
their mobile devices to pass through TSA checkpoints at
participating airports across the United
States.
As Louisiana's LA Wallet mDL
implementation becomes the eighth state-level adoption of this
cutting-edge technology, Envoc, the driving force behind LA
Wallet's development, celebrates its substantial impact on
advancing digital innovation within the state.
Envoc's Founder and CEO, Calvin
Fabre, expressed his excitement about the TSA partnership:
"The acceptance of Louisiana's mDL
by TSA is a testament to our team's relentless dedication and hard
work. Envoc's mission is to create a better reality for our clients
and communities through innovation and creativity. This achievement
demonstrates our commitment to pushing the digital ID space
forward."
To utilize the mDL feature, LA Wallet users must onboard their
licenses through a separate process and unique workflow within the
app. Once completed, users can conveniently "Share with TSA" using
a secure QR code that initiates data transfer to the TSA agent's
specialized machine. This process enhances efficiency and security
by allowing agents to verify users' identities, cross-reference
multiple tickets, and streamline check-ins.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and first lady Sharon Landry demonstrated the ease of use of LA
Wallet at a Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport TSA
security checkpoint at an official ceremony this week. The governor
shared his vision, stating, "Our hope is that, by the end of the
year, all airports in Louisiana
will be able to use LA Wallet, and then hopefully the rest of the
country will follow suit."
The integration of LA Wallet with TSA promises numerous benefits
for Louisiana residents, including
reduced reliance on physical credentials, faster security
screenings, and improved convenience. Users can now confidently
approach TSA checkpoints at participating airports without needing
to scan paper tickets. TSA officials acknowledge that mDL
technology provides a more secure verification process, further
strengthening the safety and security of air travel.
The mDL feature is currently active at eight locations, with
plans to expand to 27 additional airports shortly. For updates and
a full list of participating airports, visit the TSA website at
www.tsa.gov/digital-id.
Since LA Wallet's launch, nearly 2 million Louisiana citizens actively utilize the app,
resulting in over 4 million successful digital transactions. The
Envoc team remains dedicated to shaping the future of digital
identity innovation by focusing on increasing ease and
accessibility while enhancing safety and fraud
prevention measures.
Envoc's ongoing success, including being named a 2024 LED
Louisiana Growth Leader, highlights the company's commitment to
innovation, philanthropy, leadership, and fostering a strong
company culture. The Louisiana Growth Leaders selection process is
led by a statewide panel of economic development professionals who
assess companies based on various growth and impact criteria.
