Google Wallet’s new passport ID feature won’t help you enter the country


Google says you should still carry physical ID, though.

You’ll be asked to take a selfie video to verify your identity, and Google Wallet will notify you when your ID pass is ready (typically within a few minutes). The digital ID feature will be available to “all eligible users in the coming weeks,” according to Jenny Cheng, VP and GM of Google Wallet. Cheng also shared that New Mexico driver’s licenses and state IDs can be saved in Google Wallet.
