SB 10 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Mobile Drivers Licenses.

This bill requires North Carolina's Division of Motor Vehicles to issue mobile drivers licenses (MDLs) upon request, making them legally equivalent to physical licenses for all purposes, including voting. It extends recognition to MDLs issued by other states with similar requirements and mandates law enforcement officers to complete training on appropriate interactions with MDL holders. The bill also explicitly states that MDLs satisfy North Carolina's photo ID requirement for in-person voting. These provisions apply to all North Carolina drivers who request an MDL, law enforcement officers, and voters needing photo ID at polling places.
