As part of California’s mobile driver’s license (mDL) pilot program, participants will soon have access to their digital IDs through Google and Apple wallet, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The current program, which started a year ago, is limited to 1.5 million participants. Those enrolled access their mDL through the California DMV Wallet app.
