Ohio residents can now add their driver’s licenses and state identification cards to Apple Wallet, Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced Wednesday. The new feature allows Ohioans to use their mobile IDs at select businesses, apps, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints, according to a news release.
In addition to the mobile ID option, Ohio has launched a free age verification app for businesses. The app enables them to accept mobile driver’s licenses and state IDs, the release said.
“Ohio has always been a leader in innovation, and now we are the fifth state in the country that gives residents the option to securely add their driver’s license to Apple Wallet,” DeWine stated. “This is another example of how Ohio is using technology to better serve its customers and residents.”
Businesses interested in accepting this form of identification can download the Ohio Mobile ID Check app to facilitate the process, the release noted.
