Add Your Driver’s License or State ID
Another cool feature of the Wallet app is the ability to add your driver’s license or your state ID. Granted, not everyone can do it, but if you’re one of the select few, you’ll be able to use your digital license at TSA checkpoints when traveling by air and may soon be able to present it as ID when purchasing age-restricted items, renting cars, and more.
Sadly, most states still won’t let you drive without your physical license, but they’ll get there eventually.
As of right now, only the people who live in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, or Maryland can add their Driver’s License or state ID. If you live in one of these regions, this is what you need to do:
- Open the Wallet app.
- Tap on the plus icon in the top right corner of your screen.
- Tap on Driver’s License or State ID.
- Choose the state your driver’s license is registered in.
- Scan your driver’s license and follow the instructions on your screen to complete the process.
Once you’re done, your state will need to verify your identity. To do this, you’ll be asked to make a series of head or facial movements or to take a selfie. If needed, the state might ask for more information.
Afterward, you’ll have to wait until your digital driver’s license gets accepted.
