The Iowa Department of Transportation announced in early November that residents of Iowa can now add their driver’s license to their phone to present at places such as bars, tobacco shops, airports, and banks, with other locations to be added as the technology evolves. Businesses and organizations can utilize Iowa Mobile ID, a new app, or their phone’s mobile wallet, such as Apple Wallet and Samsung Wallet, to present their driver’s license at these locations in place of a physical ID. This follows a long line of online wallet advancements, where individuals can put concert or event tickets into their phone. Iowa Mobile ID is a free digital version of a person’s official driver’s license. While it does not replace physical identification, the advancement allows for convenience and ease in many situations, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation website.
