Apple has confirmed that Californians can soon carry their driver’s licenses and state IDs digitally on their iPhone and Apple Watch.
The new feature, set to be rolled out as part of California’s mobile driver’s license (mDL) pilot program, marks a significant step in the state’s efforts to embrace digital identification. The move was rumored earlier in August, but the company officially confirmed it on Thursday.
Apple Wallet’s integration with state IDs lets Californians present their iPhones or Apple Watches at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints and select businesses. The IDs can also verify age or identity in certain apps, making physical IDs obsolete.
