The first state to officially roll out Apple\u2019s digital driver\u2019s license and state ID is Arizona, the iPhone maker announced Wednesday. \u201cStarting today, Arizonans can add their driver\u2019s license or state ID to Wallet, and tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to seamlessly and securely present it at select TSA security checkpoints in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport,\u201d Apple announced in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you live in Arizona and want to add your license or ID to Wallet, you can do so right from the Wallet app. Take photos of the front and back of your license or ID, and you will \u201cbe prompted to complete a series of facial and head movements during the setup process,\u201d according to Apple. Apple is not the one approving requests to add licenses or IDs to Wallet \u2014 instead, the company says Arizona will be responsible for that. <\/p>\n

If you want to show your digital license or ID to TSA at the airport, here\u2019s what the process looks like, according to Apple:<\/p>\n

\n

On their iPhone or Apple Watch, users will be shown which information is requested by the TSA, and can consent to provide it with Face ID or Touch ID, without having to unlock their iPhone or show their ID card. All information is shared digitally, so users do not need to show or hand over their device to present their ID.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Apple, during this process, \u201cthe TSA will also capture a picture of the traveler for verification purposes.\u201d We\u2019ve asked the TSA for details on where those photos might be stored, how they can ensure they stay private, and if the photos will be deleted after a certain period of time; when we asked Apple, it said it passed our questions to the TSA.<\/p>\n

Initially, only travelers using PSA PreCheck at the Phoenix airport will be able to use the feature, according to a TSA press release. And passengers \u201cmust continue\u201d to still carry their physical driver\u2019s license or ID and have it available if needed. <\/p>\n

Real ID-compliant identification cards will be supported by Wallet, Apple spokesperson Heather Norton tells The Verge<\/em>. You\u2019ll need one of those to fly domestically<\/a> beginning in May 2023 (though that deadline has already been pushed a couple of times<\/a>). <\/p>\n
