I'm wondering how soon we'll see driving licenses and other official IDs stored on the phone. A few years sounds optimistic.

Singapore has introduced digital driving licences [1] and national identity cards [2], but retrieving the information requires internet access and cannot be cached in-app due to government security policies [3].

We've had this for about a year in NSW, Australia. Alongside the fact that all the payment terminals here support contactless payments, this means that i do not need to carry my wallet, ever.
