Californians can now add their driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet on both their iPhones and Apple Watches, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Sept. 19.

It’s part of the state’s mobile driver’s license pilot program, which is currently limited to 1.5 million participants. Last month, the governor announced the same update for Google Wallet.
