iPhone can replace your driver’s license

In the near future Apple will be able to replace a driver’s license. At least for those who live in the UK. The corresponding statement was made by representatives of the state organization DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency).

England are currently working on a project to create an electronic version of a driver’s license, which will replace paper counterparts. In a special event on Friday DVLA moved the prototype to the rights Wallet on your iPhone app, which stores electronic versions of credit and debit cards as well as card shops, boarding passes, movie tickets, bonus cards, etc.

Although it is very convenient, this innovation is accompanied by many risks, so the DMV is planning to include a number of functions to confirm the authenticity of the document and ensure the confidentiality of personal information of its owner. According to the statement of the head of DVLA, the electronic version of a driver’s license will differ several degrees of protection, among which it is worth noting the personal identification number.

It is worth noting that on the roads of the UK rules are more strict. Until recently, drivers had to carry a driver’s license in addition to an additional document that shows the violations of traffic rules by the driver. Thus, the new initiative is a step forward towards motorists. However, it will take some time before they will be able to send your driver’s license to gather dust on the shelf.

The electronic version is at the concept stage and will be tested by a limited number of public servants in the pilot program. If testing is successful, then UK residents will be able to join the program.
