Apple has announced that California residents can now add their driver's licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet on iPhones and Apple Watches. This feature is part of California DMV's mobile driver's license (MDL) pilot program, which aims to securely store and present digital IDs. California is the seventh U.S. state to adopt mobile driver's licenses for iPhones, reflecting a broader push towards digital identification. Apple also revealed that support for driver's licenses in the Wallet app will soon expand to Montana, New Mexico, and West Virginia, and internationally to Japan. Google Wallet also supports California driver's licenses. The pilot program includes 1.5M participants, and digital IDs can be used at SFO.
