Your digital Google Wallet is slowly increasing its ability to become your main wallet. Here’s how to add your ID or driver’s license to Google Wallet.
Between credit cards, store loyalty cards, and identification cards, our wallets are on the beefier side these days — and it makes digging through them to find the one correct card a real chore. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just show someone or scan your phone instead?
Well, now you can if you have an Android smartphone. Following on from Apple, Google Wallet now allows you to upload your driver’s license or state ID into your Google Wallet account, giving you a quick and easy way to show your credentials when needed. If you live in certain states in the U.S., that is.
You’ll still have to carry the physical copies of these cards on you anyway, just in case further validation is needed. But even with that in mind, it’s a great time-saving measure for when you don’t want to have to dig cards out of your wallet, purse, or bag. Here’s how to add your ID or driver’s license to Google Wallet.
