Google Wallet now works for California driver’s licenses

Android users participating in a pilot program can now add their California driver’s licenses to Google Wallet. The “mobile driver’s license” program is currently open to 1.5 million Californians, and previously only allowed digital IDs in the state’s “CA DMV Wallet” app for iOS and Android. “It’s never been easier to keep a digital driver’s license and identification card in California,” said Governor Gavin Newsom in a statement yesterday, “The state continues to work to offer convenience for those opting into the mobile driver’s license program, now with the option of using Google Wallet.”
