DO NOT TOUCH

• LA Wallet is interactive and as such, employees should not touch the device.

 
VALID/INVALID

• There are colored lines across the top of the device. Green = valid, red = invalid.

 
OVER 21/UNDER 21

• According to LA Wallet, individuals over the age of 21 will have their license displayed horizontally. Those younger than 21 will have their ID displayed vertically.

 
HOW TO REFRESH

• There’s a refresh button that acts as a safeguard. The refresh enables LA Wallet holders to contact the DMV and re-validate the license and the time of the last update will be displayed next to license. It typically takes less than three seconds to re-validate with the DMV.

 
VIEW

• There’s a view alternative if the employee needs to view the license more clearly. When clicking view, LA Wallet will display driver’s license number, date of birth, endorsements and restrictions. It is at the employee’s discretion, but a reminder, employees should not touch the device.

 
SECURITY SEAL

• For further validation, each LA Wallet holder features a security seal. The user can press and hold the license on the screen to reveal the seal.

 
Accepting LA Wallet is at the discretion of each business.
