A widget directly to your driving license: this is how you can create it with the mi DGT app

One of the most recent innovations of the my DGT application makes it very simple and fast to show the documentation to the authorities just by carrying the phone: newly introduced widget offers direct access to driving licenses. If you didn’t know it, we’ll show you how to put it on your Android and what you can do with it.

One of the applications that most aims to eliminate the wallet to carry everything on the mobile is the app developed by the General Directorate of Traffic: my DGT includes among its benefits the option of carry your driver’s license on your phone. Not only that, it also allows the authorities to show the circulation permits of all the vehicles associated with the user. And there is a way to make it even easier to display all that documentation.

A practical widget with access to identification QRs

With the mi DGT application it is not necessary to carry your driving license because the app itself is valid as an identification method before the authorities. Not only that: my DGT stores the data of all the vehicles registered in Traffic; allowing to show all the data with a QR code. Of course, showing any of the documentation implies carrying out certain steps in the application.

With the latest update of the app, distributed in March, the DGT makes it even easier to show any document related to driving: Both the license and the vehicle registration permits. For this, a widget has been included that, when anchored to a free space on the desktop, groups all the documents offering direct access to the QR code with a simple touch.

The widget is very practical if you are used to showing your driving licenses and permits (or if you plan to do so). To use it, simply follow the usual procedure:

  • Make sure you have updated the mi DGT app. The latest version is 1.6.5.
  • Hold down on an empty space on the desktop and select the “Widgets” option.
  • Go to my DGT and hold on it to place it on the desktop.
  • Direct access to the driving license (the upper icon) and to all the vehicles you have registered (the lower icons) will automatically appear.
  • Clicking on any of them you will directly access the documentation to be able to show it to the authorities with a simple step. Yes, you will have to authorize access (it works with the fingerprint if you have it registered on your mobile).

Selection from the widget list

The widget works very well and is practical, at least according to our tests. Yes it has a somewhat old design and cannot be resized to just the right height for permissions: the DGT should review the style. Otherwise, the widget is more than functional.
