Your phone can replace lots of things you keep in your wallet, but not always elegantly. With new updates to its Wallet app, Google is trying to fix that.

Slowly, surely, smartphones are getting better at replacing the things you've crammed in your wallet. But they haven’t finished the job yet.

That’s partly because not all of the things in your wallet live in a single place on your phone. Consider mine, for example: My San Francisco library card lives in one app, while my health insurance card and credit cards live in others. And then there’s my driver’s license, which — because I live in California — isn’t getting a widespread digital replacement for a while yet.

For Google, that starts in Maryland, where all residents will be able to store a digital driver’s license in Google Wallet starting June 1st. There are only two requirements, she says: The feature only works on devices running Android 8.0 or newer, and those devices require a screen lock, like a PIN or fingerprint.In time, that feature will expand to people who live in Arizona, Colorado and Georgia, though exactly when digital licenses become usable is largely up to each state.
