IDs in Apple Wallet take advantage of the privacy and security features already built into iPhone and Apple Watch to help protect against tampering and theft:
Your driver's license and ID data are encrypted.
Neither the issuing authority nor Apple can see when and where you use your license or ID.
Biometric authentication using Face ID and Touch ID helps make sure that only you can view and use your license or ID.

* ID in Apple Wallet is available in select U.S. states and territories, and is accepted at select U.S. airports and TSA checkpoints (travelers should check if their airport accepts mobile ID before traveling and refer to airport checkpoint signage to confirm availability), as well as at select businesses and organizations in person, in app, and online. To use ID in Wallet or verify ID using an iPhone, software and device requirements apply; see here for details. ID in Wallet is not a replacement for a physical ID which may still be needed (e.g., by request of law enforcement).
