HB 110 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Driver licenses; authorize issuance of digital driver licenses and identification cards

HB 110 would allow Alabama's driver license agency (ALEA) to issue digital driver licenses and identification cards to residents. It permits ALEA to charge an additional $15 fee for this digital option, with the revenue directed to the Public Safety Fund. The bill requires ALEA to apply industry-standard security measures for digital IDs and gives the agency authority to create implementing rules. This legislation directly affects Alabama residents who obtain driver licenses or state ID cards, providing a new digital option while establishing fee and security requirements. The bill is currently pending in committee as of January 2026.
