They should also do this for insurance cards. Not needing 5g signal for that would be great. Geico lets me download mine but it's pretty klunky.

State Farm adds them to Apple Wallet as passes.

The apps for State Farm, Allstate, and Progressive can do this now for Apple Wallet. Google Wallet too, IIRC.

Not a chance I'm installing my insurance companies app.

We shouldn't have to carry insurance cards or copies of our registration

If the papers ever conflicts what the goddamn cop pulls up on their computer we all know what the result is gonna be so skip the stupid step and just look it up.

That's not how it works. It needs Secure Boot, TLS, Remote attestation. And location access. No need to register as [email protected] because you already have your license there.

I thought the wallet was stored locally and encrypted using a datakey from the secure enclave? Alongside all the payment tokens and CC numbers.

Utah Kentucky North Carolina

Every single time I'm hoping to see Washington State and I'm always let down.

If it makes you feel any better, we've had them for years in California and there is still almost no scenario where you don't still need your physical ID.

Has anyone utilized this feature outside of an airport?

I watched my brother-in-law (Colorado) get denied a beer trying to use it in a bar in Michigan. It was pretty funny tbh.
