California has announced that it will allow residents to store their driver's licenses and state IDs on Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, enhancing convenience for age verification during air travel and at participating businesses. While physical IDs are still required, this move is part of a broader initiative to integrate technology into identification processes, following other states like Arizona and Maryland.
