Apple introduces California driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet as part of California DMV’s mDL pilot program (www.apple.com)

IDs in Apple Wallet use the privacy and security features that are built into Apple devices to help protect a user’s identity and personal information. When adding an ID to Apple Wallet, the state-issuing authority receives only the information it needs to approve or deny the request.

Once an ID is added to Apple Wallet, the information is encrypted on a user’s device, so others — including Apple — cannot access it unless a user chooses to present it. Apple and the state-issuing authority do not know when or to whom a user presents their driver’s license or state ID. A user’s presentment history is encrypted and stored only on their device, and Apple cannot see or access this information.

When presenting an ID in Apple Wallet, only the information needed for the transaction is presented, and the user has the opportunity to review and authorize the information being requested with Face ID or Touch ID before it is shared. Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.

I wonder what it'll be like to have a digital driver's license get revoked? Will it still work as a form of ID, or will you have to pay a subscription to 'unlock' it?

This is how CA is handling it during their pilot program.

That said, you need a physical card to enroll, so you could also just use your original physical card.

Ah, so it un-enrolls you if it gets suspended. Guess that means that DD and UberEats won't be integrating this for awhile then

Guessing this is why they changed the term "Apple ID" to "Apple Account"
