Apple Digital IDs in Arizona

Apple has released its digital IDs feature for its Wallet application in Arizona. The state remains to be the first to receive this feature along with the virtual diving license. In a few days from now, it will roll out for other states and regions as well. Consequently, the feature lets you seamlessly checkout at security points or Airports with just one tap on your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Talking about the further release, several states desire to enjoy this thoughtful feature. For instance: Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, Ohio, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, Utah, and the territory of Puerto Rico.

What is the Digital IDs feature?

The vice president of Apple Pay and Wallet indicates the benefits of digital IDs. She claims it to be the simplest, easiest and most secure, and private method to exhibit one’s id at any place, any time. A user only has to tap once on their Apple Wearables or iPhone to showcase their IDs at the time of need without unlocking the phone.
