California to Integrate Digital Driver's Licenses into Apple and Google Wallets

Half a million users have already adopted the state's mobile driver's license, with broader accessibility expected soon.

The digital license will be available directly in Apple and Google wallets, moving beyond the DMV's standalone app.
Currently, only select airports and stores in California accept the digital ID, but expansion is planned.
Privacy features will limit the amount of personal information shared during ID verification.
Concerns remain about data privacy and the potential for mandatory digital IDs.
California's pilot program is capped at 1.5 million digital licenses.
