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 Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico support digital IDs in the Apple Wallet, with other states in active development.
