Google Wallet adds digital ID support in yet another US state

The app also now lets you turn your passport into a digital ID.

While physical IDs are still required for law enforcement and age checks, more businesses and TSA checkpoints are using the NM Verifier app for smartphone-based verification. This new feature, being rolled out to eligible users, lets you store a digital version of your US passport in the app, making it easier to get through certain TSA checkpoints. If you’re planning a domestic flight with a digital passport, it’s a good idea to check the TSA’s map of supported states and airports.
