In a move to make digital wallets more convenient, Apple has expanded its Wallet app on iOS and watchOS to support state IDs and driver’s licenses issued in California. This means Californians can now store their ID cards digitally, eliminating the need to carry physical copies.

How to Add Your ID to Apple Wallet

To add your ID to the digital wallet, you’ll need to submit a photo of it, a selfie, and a facial scan. Once you’ve completed the process, you can use your iPhone and Apple Watch to verify your age or identity at select venues and in compatible apps.

Benefits and Security

Like Apple Pay, you’ll need to authenticate with Face ID whenever you use your digital ID. Your Apple device will also prompt you to pick the necessary information you’d like to share, allowing you to keep irrelevant private details to yourself. For example, you can choose to reveal your age only if you’re trying to buy alcohol.

California Joins the List

Apple Wallet already supports digital IDs in Hawaii, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland. Montana, New Mexico, West Virginia, and Japan are expected to follow suit in the near future.
