According to macrumors, Apple's wallet app now supports Maryland's resident ID card and driver's license, which is the second state after Arizona to obtain digital recognition Apple users in the state can use iPhone or apple watch to complete security inspection by presenting these digital certificates at some TSA security checkpoints at airports, including Baltimore, Washington International Airport and Reagan National Airport.
Access:
The iPhone itself does not carry the picture of the card, but transmits the information to the receiving device. The user uses biometric technology to confirm the information sent to the device.
But at this stage, the digital ID card can not completely replace the physical ID card. The Maryland motor vehicle authority website states that the law enforcement department does not accept Maryland mobile ID, which means that you still need to carry your wallet to drive a car or take a plane. At present, digital ID cards can only be used in a small number of airports.
In a previous statement, Apple Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple pay and apple wallet, said: "we are happy to bring the first driver's license and state ID card in Arizona's wallet today and provide Arizona residents with a simple, safe and private way to travel by tapping their iPhone Or apple watch can show their ID cards. We look forward to working with more states and TSAs to bring the ID card in the wallet to users all over the United States. ".
