“As the issuing authority, we do not know when or where these are used, as is the case with a physical, plastic license or ID.” In other words, the device checking your ID doesn’t connect to the DMV, so it can’t track you. “Mobile ID, as implemented, is device to device,” Lamoreaux said. (The state has more than 5.3 million licensed drivers.) In the program’s first year, he said, about 320,000 Arizona residents had downloaded the mobile license app, and since March about 60,000 had put their mobile ID into an Apple wallet. State agencies in Arizona are also starting to accept its mobile driver’s license to verify applicants for other state licenses and services, Jorgensen said, adding that retailers and banks have also expressed interest in how they can implement the technology. At selected airports, Arizona residents with a mobile license from the state can pass through a TSA screening with a single tap of their device, Jorgensen said. The Transportation Security Administration has started supporting standards-based mobile licenses in Apple’s wallet app. At this point, Colorado’s app is accepted by that state’s agencies and police officers, and Louisiana’s works with government agencies, state liquor stores and other app users. The two states first out of the gate with mobile license apps - Louisiana and Colorado - acted before the ISO standard was complete, limiting their licenses’ interoperability. Plus, if your phone is lost, you can tell the DMV to revoke your mobile license, rendering it inoperable - in sharp contrast to a revoked physical license, which looks no different than a valid one. Leave your phone at the bar after overindulging? The mobile license is more theft-resistant than its physical counterpart, thanks to the biometric controls on your phone. Instead of him scrutinizing your physical license for watermarks or other anti-counterfeiting features, his device will use cryptographic techniques to confirm that your license is authentic. The mobile license is easier for the bouncer to check too.The way the system is designed, none of the information you disclose will be stored by the bouncer’s device.Also, the license app is able to answer some yes/no questions, so it can reveal whether you are old enough to enter without telling the bouncer your birthdate. You control which pieces of information from your license to share and which to keep concealed.And you don’t have to hand the bouncer your phone to display your ID your license app will exchange information wirelessly with his device. You can decide whether to let him check your mobile license - he can’t do so without your permission.Imagine, just for example, you’re trying to enter that nightclub with the creepy bouncer:
