States across the US are slowly rolling out support for adding your driver\u2019s license or ID to the Google Wallet app on Android.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Update 6\/28<\/p>\n
How to add your state ID on Android\u00a0<\/p>\n
The process involves taking a picture of the front and back of your physical card, as well as a short video of yourself for verification: a \u201cphoto from this video will be submitted to your ID issuer.\u201d <\/p>\n
Once approved, the ID will appear below the carousel of payment methods alongside other passes. The order can be rearranged, while you can remotely remove the ID online if your phone is missing: myaccount.google.com > Personal Info > Manage IDs.<\/p>\n

What Google Wallet state IDs are supported\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where state IDs are coming\u00a0next<\/p>\n
Google previously said to expect support in the following places:<\/p>\n
Where you can use state IDs<\/p>\n
The primary place you can use this digital ID is at TSA checkpoints in some US airports<\/a>. There are two ways to do so, starting with tapping your phone at the NFC terminal. You then review the information that will be shared with the TSA and authenticate with device unlock. There\u2019s also a QR code method that requires opening the ID in Google Wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Officially, you still have to carry the physical ID card at all times.<\/p>\n Some apps, like from car rental services, are beginning to accept digital IDs for identity and age verification. On mobile, if an app or website requests your age, it\u2019s as simple as confirming (and authenticating) that you want to share this information with a system-level prompt\/sheet. On desktop web, the experience involves scanning a QR code.\u00a0<\/p>\n Google wants to make it possible to do that \u201cwithout any possibility to link back to a user\u2019s personal identity\u201d through what it calls Zero-Knowledge Proof<\/a>. This technology will be open-sourced for anyone to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking ahead, the IDs can be used at DMVs in Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, and New Mexico as part of \u201cimproved and streamlined customer experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n Google is also working on letting you use digital IDs to \u201crecover Amazon accounts, access online health services with CVS and MyChart by Epic, verify profiles on platforms like Uber and more.\u201d<\/p>\n Using passport as REAL ID\u00a0<\/p>\n Google in April<\/a> pointed out how you can \u201cuse your ID pass created from a U.S. passport with TSA security for domestic travel at supported airports, even if you do not have a REAL ID driver\u2019s license or state-issued ID.\u201d This comes ahead of the May 7, 2025 deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n To do so, open Google Wallet > Add to Wallet > ID pass. This three-step process involves taking a picture of your passport\u2019s info page, and then scanning the security chip found inside the back cover of your passport. You also have to record a video of your face that Google will review \u201cto make sure you\u2019re a real person, and compare the video to your passport photo to make sure you\u2019re the owner of the passport.\u201d<\/p>\n The NFC and QR code instructions for using this digital passport ID are unchanged from above. You also have to keep the physical version on you when traveling. As a reminder, this won\u2019t work internationally.<\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
