Google Wallet has evolved into a multifunctional app, allowing users not only to make payments but also to store personal IDs, boarding passes, and transit cards, significantly enhancing its utility.
California residents can now add their IDs and driver's licenses to Google Wallet, joining other states. This feature has a cap of 1.5 million registrations and emphasizes user privacy by allowing selective information sharing.
The process of adding your ID to Google Wallet requires a smartphone with Android 8.0 or higher and involves a verification step that includes submitting a short selfie video to the DMV for approval.
While convenient, it's important to note that government-issued cards in Google Wallet do not sync with users' Google accounts, meaning they will need to be re-added if the user changes devices.
