Apple announces first states that will let you keep a digital version of your drivers license on your iPhone

▤ Summary

Arizona and Georgia are the first states to adopt the feature and Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Utah will follow, though the company did not specify a timeline. The news comes just months after Apple said it was working on the feature with the Transportation Security Administration at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Adding IDs to the Wallet app works similarly to uploading credit cards and transit passes, Apple said. Once users scan the ID, they will also be asked to complete facial and head movements as an additional security measure. The company says customer data is "encrypted and protected against tampering and theft" and that the ID can only be viewed by the owner.
