TSA now accepts mobile IDs in Google Wallet on Android mobile devices,

   Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Ronald
   Reagan Washington National Airport among initial 25 participating
   airports
   National Press Release
   Thursday, June 1, 2023

   WASHINGTON– In collaboration with the [52]State of Maryland and Google,
   the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now accepts
   Maryland-issued mobile driver’s licenses and ID cards in Google Wallet
   on Android mobile phones at select TSA airport security checkpoints.

   TSA PreCheck^® passengers will be able to use this new feature at
   checkpoints for identity verification at [53]25 participating airports.

   “TSA’s partnership with Google and Maryland spotlights our commitment
   to implementing new technologies and expanding use of mobile driver’s
   licenses,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske. “This launch
   represents the first mobile driver’s license in Google Wallet. We
   continue to work closely with other states on deploying this capability
   across the country. TSA is committed to collaborating on international,
   open standards that provide enhanced security, privacy protections and
   offers airline passengers a more efficient and convenient travel
   experience.”

   To present their ID in Google Wallet at select TSA checkpoints,
   passengers will approach the podium at the first station in the
   screening process. The passenger may consent to provide their mobile
   identification from Google Wallet by simply turning on Bluetooth and
   holding their Android smart phone or watch on the second-generation
   Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) reader device.  The
   digital identity information from the mobile driver’s license is
   encrypted and transmitted digitally to CAT-2, where the passenger’s
   real-time camera photograph will be compared against the encrypted
   mobile identity information from Google Wallet and their reservation
   data that would have been on the passenger’s boarding pass.  Once the
   CAT-2 confirms the identity match, a TSA officer will verify the match
   and the passenger will proceed to security screening - without ever
   exchanging a boarding pass.  TSA officers may perform additional
   passenger verification if needed. The real-time live camera photograph
   and the mobile identification information is not kept, transmitted or
   used for any purpose other than for the immediate identity verification
   by a TSA officer. Passengers who do not wish to participate in facial
   matching can opt out in favor of an alternative identity verification
   process.

   With IDs in Google Wallet on Android, identification data is encrypted
   and securely transmitted digitally, eliminating the need for passengers
   to show or hand over their device to a TSA officer. All passengers,
   including those traveling through security with a Maryland mobile
   driver’s license or state ID, must continue to carry and have readily
   available their physical driver’s license or identification card, or
   other acceptable ID listed on the [54]TSA website. A physical ID may be
   required for identity verification.

   TSA recommends that eligible travelers complete the process of adding
   the mobile ID to their Google Wallet before arriving at the TSA
   checkpoint. Only passengers with TSA PreCheck added to their boarding
   pass will be eligible at this time.

   TSA introduced the concept of the mobile driver’s license in April 2021
   with a notice in the [55]Federal Register and a [56]press
   release announcing a request for information regarding mobile driver’s
   licenses. This is one of the many steps TSA is taking
   under [57]President Biden’s Executive Order on Transforming Customer
   Experience.

   TSA’s interest in this technology is driven by security and privacy
   enhancements provided by mobile driver’s licenses compared to physical
   cards.

   For more information on all digital identity solutions accepted at
   select TSA checkpoints, visit [58]tsa.gov/digital-id.
