Having your own vehicle can help you reach places you want without getting late. If you are travelling with your own vehicle you also need to carry your driving license. Keeping an original driving license can be risky as it may get lost. Sometimes you may also forget to carry your license and what if you are asked for the same for checking purposes? If you are an Apple iPhone user, you can be saved from such situations. Wondering how? You can add your driver's license to Apple Wallet and then use your iPhone or Apple Watch to present the same when required.

It can be noted that in order to add your license to Apple Wallet, you need an iPhone 8 or later, or an Apple Watch Series 4 or later, with the latest version of iOS or watchOS. If you have them, you also need to keep a Face ID or Touch ID turned on, an Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on, a license or ID from a participating state, and your device region set to the United States, according to the details mentioned on Apple's support page. It can be known that the feature is not available in India. While people in US can take advantage of the same.

"IDs in Apple Wallet take advantage of the privacy and security features already built into iPhone and Apple Watch. Identity data is encrypted and protected against tampering and theft, neither the state issuing authority nor Apple can see when and where you use your license or ID, and biometric authentication using Face ID and Touch ID helps make sure that only you can view and use your license or ID," Apple Support page read.

You can add only one license to one iPhone and one paired Apple Watch
