Google Wallet for Android adds 12th digital state ID
9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Google Wallet now supports Oklahoma state IDs on Android, becoming the 13th region to offer this feature alongside states like Arizona, California, and Ohio.
- Users add their Oklahoma ID by photographing the front and back of their physical card and submitting a facial verification video, which is reviewed by the state and confirmed via notification and email.
- The digital ID can be securely shared via Bluetooth or QR code without handing over the phone, with user control over what information is shared and additional security verification required.
- The digital ID is accepted by TSA at some airports but does not replace the legal requirement to carry a physical ID card.
- Compatible devices must run Android 8 or higher with screen lock enabled, and the digital ID remains private to one device without cloud syncing, with options to delete it anytime locally or remotely.
