Once you’ve uploaded your ID, you’ll need to either enter a passcode or use Apple’s biometric lock to access it.<br/> Tap the Plus button at the top of the Wallet app.<br/> Choose the ID option and enter the data as prompted.<br/> Scan your ID when the app requests an image.<br/> Do this in a well-lit area or a flat surface, and place something of a contrasting color, like black construction paper, underneath your ID. This will help ensure a clean scan and prevent errors. <br/> Take a selfie according to the instructions, and record yourself performing the head and facial movements as requested.

You may have to repeat these a few times depending on the lighting and contrast in your location.<br/> If you have Wallet on your Apple Watch, you will be alerted by your watch to add your license to that app as well, which will happen automatically.<br/> <h2> Will My iPhone ID Replace My Driver s License </h2> <br/>In most situations, you’ll still need your wallet with you.

Will My iPhone ID Replace My Driver s License


In most situations, you’ll still need your wallet with you. Arizona already has a similar system in place using a Mobile ID app, and they emphasize that you should have your physical license while driving. 

Instead, this system is largely designed for situations where you need to present your ID while shopping or to access certain facilities.

One example Apple features prominently in its announcement is the Transportation Security Administration, which discusses touchless security screening in airports.<br/><br/>There’s no firm timeline for when states will make this functionality available. While Apple hasn’t discussed the inner workings of this system publicly, it’s likely coordinated with the federal standards set by the REAL ID Act of 2005. Not all states are issuing IDs that are fully compliant with those standards, which may hinder the process of being added to the Wallet app.<br/><br/>Finally, it’s not yet clear this will be acceptable in states that don’t currently have a mobile ID system in place.
