Apple announced on Wednesday that eight U.S. states have agreed to allow users to add their driver’s licenses to their digital wallets on their Apple devices.
According to the tech company’s announcement, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Utah have all agreed to roll out a feature that will allow Apple users to add their driver’s license or state ID to their device’s Apple Wallet.
Arizona and Georgia will be the first states two roll out this feature.
The Apple Wallet app allows those with iPhones or Apple Watches to keep digital copies of their credit cards, loyalty cards and gift cards that can be used in lieu of the physical cards themselves.
Users will be able to add their licenses by scanning the card and taking a selfie, which will be sent to the state that issued the license for verification. Users will also be asked to perform a series of facial and head movements. Once verified by the issuing state, their license will be added to their Apple Wallet.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will allow certain airport security checkpoints at participating airports to use this feature, Apple said.
