It'd be nice if passports were done this way as well.
On vacation, I would never carry my passport around loose to take photos in public or to frequently have it out to access information, so I could see some issues getting back home for some.

Yes we had Apple Pay for metro and bus, but a driving license sounds far from what our gov would collaborate(and allow) with Apple

Ok folks in Lansing, you’re doing many good things to move Michigan forward, please let this soon be one of them.
An indication of life on this topic would be appreciated!

Still not available in California where Apple is based. 🤡
Right? You’d think CA would be the first state to adopt, especially with Apple headquarters there.
I went through the process and submitted it. Less than 5 minutes later I got an alert saying that it was active.
Just don't give your phone to a cop. ever!
I haven't been so much as looked at sideways by an officer in over a decade, let alone pulled over, but still.......no...no, no no..
How does this work when the scanner I keep hearing about, used the by the officer, doesn't have a good cell signal? The highway passing my house has a few several-mile dead spots for all carriers, and that's usually where I see people pulled over.
I also work in a different state than I live (I cross the border daily). How do this work when you are out of your home state but in a state that doesn't support virtual IDs?

Yeah, we were one of the last states to even get RealID. Seems like that SHOULD mean we have the latest technology in our licenses, but I still agree with your guess.
I'm not worried about the security of it all but what is the point if you can't use it as an ID? It only works at the airport for TSA? Maybe for frequent travelers, it's kind of neat, but if you have to bring your ID with you still everywhere then I don't know that I get why this matters (yet...)
For a moment, I was surprised that the country of Georgia got this in advance of most countries, till I saw the peach. 😂
I’m not holding my breath for Indiana to adopt this. They announced in 2019 they were working on digital drivers licenses and it’s been radio silence since then. I would love to be surprised though!
I’m also curious as to what places will gain the ability to use this ID. Will stores gain NFC support for scanning your ID to verify alcohol purchases? I wonder how much infrastructure can be setup to use this once implemented.

Then I'll be carrying my wallet as always, so what's the point?. There isn't much anyway; just my ID and a credit card.
