I’m surprised CO doesn’t support this yet. They have their own app which allows you to have a digital version of your drivers license that ALL businesses and bars are required to accept in the state.
Got a tip for us?

You might want to research how this works before typing. You don‘t hand over your device.
Nice in a press release theory...this is how it will probably work:
Sorry my hand held reader is down so need to take your phone to my police car. Oh not going to hand it over? Please step out the car.....
There is often a difference between what marketing says and what the experience in the field is, agreed.
Who says it's unlocked? It could be a feature from the lock screen, and once selected, FaceID/Code unlocks only this specific feature.
When I see the feature deployed and am satisfied the execution addresses all of my concerns, then I may consider it.
Until then, I remain skeptical about this, as is my default position with all Public Relations Press Releases announcing The Next Big Thing Apple Is Sure I Will Love.
"Could" do something is a non starter with me.
Now get off my lawn!
I like the idea, but with Apple, it always boils down to the execution of the feature.
I know. I had my fingers crossed for IL, but I knew it was a long shot.
Last time I flew, I had to give the TSA agent my phone anyway so they could barcode-style scan my boarding pass displaying in Wallet. Has that changed?
I take it you're not from AZ.
AZ has had digital driver's licenses (Mobile ID) for a few years now.
We even have digital license plates.
TSA already accepts the ID via the Mobile ID app.
Glad to see Apple FINALLY allowing them to be added to Wallet.

There should be an all-in-one solution for all personal and private data paperless, emission-free, and securely stored in the cloud to keep the individual solely in control of their private data and protected against identity theft and cyber criminality to rightly exercise their freedoms to the fullest extend.
Why did nobody think about that?

read the article, you won't need to.."Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to a TSA security officer to present their ID, the company added."
Apple is famous for not having new ideas, but having fantastic execution of ideas many others have floundered with.
Last time I flew, a couple years ago, the TSA agent had me place my phone screen close to the scanner and she never touched my phone.
It would be cool if you can Airdrop your ID card to cop’s screen, provided they have a large display or a tablet, so you don’t have to hand out your cell phone.
If you read the press release - or other comments - you'd see there's a mechanism to do something similar and they're not envisioning you handing over your phone.
It is wirelessly transmitted. You don’t hand anyone your phone.
That may be for TSA but what about police? I can tell you now not all depts are going to have the equipment for it.
It may eventually get there but I know some Depts that still don't have laptops in their vehicles.
