You can use your iPhone to pay for things online or in a store, as your transit pass, and eventually, as proof of identification. Right now, a select number of states currently allow you to add your driver's license to Apple Wallet, along with your boarding passes and concert tickets.
In supported states, adding your license to Apple Wallet will be handy for a number of other things, like getting through TSA checkpoints at the airport. You'll be able to swipe your ID and boarding pass back to back on your iPhone for a snappier security check experience. That's where we're at now, but once it's adopted at a larger scale, this could become the default way you present a form of ID everywhere.
It's going to take some time before all states have a digital ID system up and running.
States and regions that support digital IDs in Apple Wallet:
IOWA
- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Georgia
- Hawaii
- Maryland
- New Mexico
