Apple eventually published the start of their rollout in the USA to allow Apple Watch owners and iPhone to add their government state identifications to their Apple Wallet.

Meanwhile yesterday only two out of the fifty states are allowing the capacity to digitize ID cards, which is Georgia and Arizona. And six other states are following in the coming months, and they are Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, and Utah. And this eliminates about 85 percent of the USA.

Apple remarks that TSA which is a protective agency safeguarding
the whole US airport will be facilitating specific airport security lines with the technology needed to be capable to read ID cards from Apple Wallet.

Recollect, the state ID cards are verified and read using the similar wireless contact system that you can use to pay with your iPhone at the coffee shop. So it is not merely a digital scanned photograph of one's ID card.

The company States,
"When added to the Wallet, consumers can present their state ID or driver’s license to TSA by solely touching their Apple Watch or iPhone at the identity location.
Just by authorizing the Face ID or Touch ID is the inquired identity information delivered from your device, which guarantees that just the necessary information is given and only the person who added the state ID or driver’s license to this device can present it. So you do not need to unlock, or give your device to present your ID."

Conclusion

Nothing has been heard yet if Apple intends on expanding these features worldwide, but for now, let us watch if they can bring it to all fifty states in America.
