You can leave your purses at home because Apple is now introducing digital licenses to its iPhone’s wallet app
The tool is only available to iPhone users in Arizona so far.
People won’t be able to use the IDs to pass through traffic spots but can use them at security checkpoints at Sky Harbor International Airport.
This is another step towards removing the need for physical cards as Apple replaces them with digital equivalents on iPhones.
Apple plans to expand the feature to Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, Ohio and Puerto rico on top of another seven states that were announced previously.
To set up the ID – users will need to head to the Wallet app, take a selfie and can their drivers licesnse.
Security personnel will check digital IDs by tapping them on to their machines while also taking a photo of the traveler.
The digital ID itself is different to physical ones it doesn’t show a photo or any information.
Apple has been in the process of refining this technology for over two years now and is working closely with states to issue the IDs and to gain approval.
