Android users participating in a pilot program can now add their California driver's licenses to Google Wallet. The “mobile driver's license” program is currently open to 1.5 million Californians and previously only allowed digital IDs in the state's “CA DMV Wallet” app for iOS and Android.
“It’s never been easier to get a digital driver’s license and ID card in California,” said Governor Gavin Newsom In a statement Yesterday, “The state continues to work to offer convenience to those who opt into the mobile driver license program, now with the option to use Google Wallet.”
California announced earlier this month that it will soon allow Apple Wallet digital IDs as well. Those participating in the pilot program will still need to carry their physical IDs, and outside of “select TSA retail locations and airports,” law enforcement, state government agencies and businesses are not yet accepting digital IDs, according to the California DMV Site.
