During Apple’s annual developer conference, some cool innovations were announced, especially as it impacts the Apple Wallet feature.

If you’re a frequent traveler, odds are that you’ve used Apple Wallet for everything from airline mobile boarding passes to hotel elite cards.

Apple is now working on integrating government issued identification into Apple Wallet.

Apple is expecting that “participating” states will permit this to be a valid form of identification.

If passengers have both their boarding pass and state ID stored in Apple Wallet, I feel like it will potentially add several seconds to the screening process.

Starting later this year it should be possible to store select state IDs in your Apple Wallet, meaning you’ll have a government-issued digital ID.

If you worry about a place to keep id's you can buy phone cases that will store id's and credit cards.

There's quite a few varieties of phone cases where you might not need a wallet anymore.

If it means I can leave my wallet in my bag while scanning my phone or watch only, it’s an improvement.

Then again, if it's a valid FL license and FL says it's ok to have it on your phone, I'm not sure GA can say otherwise to a visitor passing through from FL.
