Ohio Mobile ID in Apple Wallet

August 02, 2024 3:46 PM | Anonymous

On Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted announced today that Ohioans can now add their Ohio-issued driver’s license or state identification card to Apple Wallet for use in person at select businesses, in select apps, and at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints, including at John Glenn Columbus International Airport and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Ohio is the 5th state in the nation to offer this option.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:

  • Ohio Mobile ID can be presented in person at businesses and organizations with standard compliant mobile ID readers.

  • Businesses are permitted to accept the Ohio Mobile ID for purchases that require age verification if they choose to do so. This is a new option, not a mandate. It's easy, secure, and private.

  • To assist businesses, Ohio now offers a free age verification app to show a customer is over 21 years old for businesses, enabling them to securely and privately accept customers’ mobile driver’s licenses in person using an iPhone with no additional hardware needed.

  • Ohio has provided this option at no cost to businesses to validate a customer is 21 years of age or older using their Ohio Mobile ID.

  • The Ohio Mobile ID Check is available in the Apple App Store and works on iPhoneXS and newer that run on iOS17 or newer.

  • There are other hardware and software reader solutions that Ohio businesses can take advantage of with different functionality to accept ISO 18013-5 compliant driver's licenses and IDs.

  • There is no cost associated with adding or using your Ohio Mobile ID in Apple Wallet on iPhone or Apple Watch.

  • Information about usage, including where, when, and what personal information you share, is encrypted and stored only on your device.

  • Neither Ohio nor Apple can see when or where you present your Ohio Mobile ID on iPhone and Apple Watch.
