California Launches Digital Driver's License Pilot Program
California has joined the digital ID movement by allowing residents to add their driver's licenses to Apple Wallet. This initiative is part of a pilot program limiting participation to 1.5 million users.
- Digital IDs can be used at select TSA checkpoints in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose airports.
- Users must scan their physical ID and complete a facial scan for verification.
- Apple ensures data security through encryption and biometric authentication.
- California is the seventh state to support Apple Wallet IDs.
The state DMV advises users to continue carrying their physical IDs, as digital versions are only authorized for limited usage.
