As noted by 9to5Mac, Apple recently started rolling out the ability for Hawaii residents to add a digital version of their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, providing a convenient and contactless way to display proof of identity or age at select airports, businesses, and venues.Hawaii is the seventh U.S.state to support this feature so far, joining Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, and recently California.
For example, the IDs can be used at select TSA checkpoints within select U.S.airports:Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) Denver International Airport (DEN) Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) Daniel K.
Apple's website says that the digital IDs in the Wallet app can also be used to show proof of age or identity at "select bars, concerts, festivals, and more," but the company does not list any specific locations, and adoption is far from widespread.
