Where Google Wallet state IDs are available on Android

Google Wallet on Android now supports adding driver’s license and ID information. Users can capture a photo of the front and back of their physical card, and a short video for verification. Once approved, the ID can be added to the list of payment methods. It can be accessed via NFC at TSA checkpoints and QR code at other places.

Physical ID cards must still be carried at all times. Certain apps are starting to accept digital IDs for age verification. In the future, digital IDs could be used for various purposes like recovering Amazon accounts, accessing online health services, and verifying profiles on platforms like Uber. Google has also introduced a method to use digital IDs created from a U.S. passport to pass TSA security at supported airports, even if the traveler doesn't have a REAL ID driver’s license or state-issued ID.

This process involves taking a photo of the passport's info page, scanning the security chip, and recording a video of the face for Google to review and compare with the passport photo.
