## What is ID?

ID-Reader allows for requesting official State digital ID and Driver's license information that is held within the Apple Wallet. Great for Night Clubs and other venues that need to check for age at the door. Simply start the app and wave your phone over the guest's phone and if they have a Digital ID in their Apple wallet, they will be prompted to allow verification of age. Currently California, Hawaii, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland support digital IDs in the Apple Wallet, 21 other states in active development.

### 3/5 — Seems like a great app, but limited

*2024-09-20, version 1.000.004*

Based on the initial download, it looks like this app is primarily geared towards age-restricted events or the purchasing of alcohol. Will there be use cases added related to the banking industry? For example, a teller who needs to see what the date of the birth is for the provider of the ID in Wallet?

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2023-11-21, version 1.000.004*

Thank you so much for that small thing I have in my pocket now. I hope someday it will be everywhere!
