Atlanta, Georgia - A Move Towards Streamlined Verification

The state of Georgia has launched a digital license and ID service that allows residents to store their driver’s license and identification card in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. This innovative feature aims to revolutionize the way Georgians prove their identity, making it easier for them to access various services and transactions.

Key Features of the Digital License and ID Service

  • Free and Optional: The service is available at no cost to eligible customers and can be used voluntarily.
  • Secure Storage: Eligible customers can securely add their digital license and ID to their mobile devices, ensuring a high level of security.
  • Convenience: The digital service enables residents to prove their identity on-the-go, making it easier for them to access various services and transactions.

Using the Digital License and ID Service

To use the digital service, users can follow these simple steps:

For Apple Devices

  • iPhone 8 or later (running the latest version of iOS)
  • Apple Watch Series 4 or later (running the latest version of watchOS)

For Android Devices

Maintaining Security and Compliance

According to officials, the Georgia Digital License and ID is not a replacement for the physical card when operating a motor vehicle. In accordance with state law, drivers must still have their physical driver’s license in their immediate possession at all times while driving.

The Georgia Digital License and ID service marks another significant step in embracing digital identity verification, bringing convenience and efficiency to citizens while maintaining the highest level of security.
