iPhone Users in Colorado Can Now Add IDs to Wallet App

[Naraxus]

Such a terrible idea

 

[biggest father1]

What the heck, Oklahoma!

Good luck with that. Here in Arizona we have had Digital ID for months, but I have gone through the signup procedure in the Wallet app on two separate occasions and heard nothing for the Motor Vehicle Department.

Thats sucks mine got put into my wallet in 5minutes……

It is interesting , from a French point of view , to see how the laws and possibility are so different from State to State...here it is all or nothing for everybody 😂

 

[2crazy]

Illinois please!

Guess who lives in Colorado!!!
Edit: What is with the icon that they chose? They could have chose mountains, gold, but they chose a cow?

I think it's supposed to be a mountain goat.

 

[matthew12]

Even when it comes to California, I probably won't use it. I don't need to give cops or the TSA my phone.

 

[boswald]

My state may as well not even be in the US as far as tech goes. 😔

 

[yukari]

YES!!!

 

[techiegirl]

Unable to verify my identification.

edit: tried again and my ID is now in wallets.

I just sent my info off to the DMV in CO. Interested to see how long this takes.


Edit: Whoa - took under 5-min! Un. Ex. Pect. Ed.

Edit #2: Whoa again! The license art is pretty slick. When you rock the phone from left to right, up and down, there is foreground/background separation (depth) and an iridescent rainbow wash that makes it feel almost lenticular. Fancy.

@WilliApple I don't recommend milking that cow. 😜

Look again. That's a Ram or a mountain goat. Not a cow.

I'm genuinely surprised that there's not even a hint that California is working on allowing this. You'd think the tech capital of the world would be jumping all over this, especially since we just approved the ePlates for cars...

California Moves to Test New Digital Driver’s Licenses

The state's Department of Motor Vehicles is planning to test a new version called a mobile driver's license or digital ID — an identity-verifying credential that can be stored on your smartphone.

That's the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, the state animal exclusive to the Rockies. It's not some cow. If you look it up, you'll know why it was picked

California is really slow with these things (Real ID for CO was 2013-14 and 2018 for CA), I expect it to take a while...

Wonder how long this will take to roll out and be supported everywhere?

I just saw this article and had my digital ID approved in minutes.

I am sorry it's taking so long for you.

Probably never in the US. Just so backwards with digital options like this.

 

[Benjamin Nabulsi]

Wooohoo finally! delete Colorado app!

 

[zecanard]

Seems you need iOS 16.1.1 for this. I don’t see the option in iOS 16.2 beta 2.

Wooohoo finally! delete Colorado app!

Your ID in the Wallet app only works via NFC at airports and for traffic stops. That way you don’t have to hand over your phone, just bring it close to an NFC reader (like Pay).

The ID in the myColorado app is supposed to be a replacement for your physical ID that you can present anywhere.

Hurry up Utah!

It will probably take a while, and I think it is alright. It is always better to introduce these new things in smaller States (population wise). Better to do the trials in small groups before expanding to the whole country. That gives everyone a bit more time to evaluate what works and what doesn't. In the meantime you'll still have a fully functioning driver license in your physical wallet.
My 2 cents.

 

[AFDoc]

Colorado not available yet....

 

[macduke]

At this rate I expect my ass backwards state of Missouri to get this in 2037.

I was super excited to use my MD digital ID last month on a flight to Utah....but the machine was broken
