Add Driver's License to Apple Wallet

Apple has made it possible for users to add a digital version of their driver's license to Apple Wallet in certain states, offering a convenient and secure way to prove identity or age.

This feature has been available for several years, allowing users to store digital versions of their personal identification on their iPhone and Apple Watch.

To add a driver's license to Apple Wallet, users need to scan both sides of their license and confirm their identity with a selfie or Live Photo. They also need to use Touch ID or Face ID for authentication to link their license to their fingerprint or face for security purposes.

The digital driver's license is encrypted and stored securely on the user's device, and neither Apple nor the issuing authority can see where or when a digital ID is shared. Before presenting a digital ID, users can see which data will be shared with the recipient.

Digital IDs can be used to prove identity or age in various businesses and venues, such as bars and restaurants. Users can choose to add their driver's license to their iPhone, Apple Watch, or both.

## Why it matters The ability to add a driver's license to Apple Wallet provides a convenient and secure way to prove identity or age, eliminating the need to carry a physical ID. This feature can be useful in several ways, such as helping users zip through airport security checkpoints or providing a secure way to verify age at businesses and venues.

## What happens next As more states and businesses support digital IDs, the convenience and security of using a digital driver's license in Apple Wallet are likely to increase. Users can expect to see more widespread adoption of this feature in the future, making it easier to prove identity or age without the need for a physical ID.
