The process involves adding the license through the Wallet app on an iPhone, which includes scanning the physical card and verifying identity through biometrics like Touch ID or Face ID. While the feature aims to reduce the need for physical IDs, its acceptance is currently limited to specific states and certain businesses, with broader adoption expected in the future. AI
