  • Digital IDs in Apple Wallet now confirmed for California residents

    I just signed up. As of now, your mDL (mobile drivers license) resides in the CA DMV Wallet app. It won't go into the Apple Wallet, which is probably why I can't get it onto my AppleWatch. It's still a pilot program and is not approved for if you get pulled over while driving in CA, isn't recognized yet in other states, and may not be recognized by businesses (all per the DMV FAQ). I'm thinking of it as a backup document for TSA for now. 
    The California mDL program has been around awhile. There is NO WAY I would install a state sponsored app on my phone.

    This announcement is about California allowing the State ID/DL to be a part of Apple Wallet, separate from the pilot program you just joined. This is just the announcement — it’s not ready yet… it’ll likely be at least a couple weeks before you’re able to add your ID into the wallet… and participating in the mDL shouldn’t be a prerequisite.
