Thread: Secure digital drivers licence?

I used my NSW digital licence for ID recently in Tasmania and it was accepted.

I use Apple Pay on the iPhone and apple watch, and the number of things that can be added to this is increasing all the time. I suppose the downside is that if it is ever hacked, somebody will have just about all my information in the one place.

I fixed the typo for you.

A friend was pick pocketed and lost their phone. Trouble was they had their credit cards and train tickets on the phone. Now 200 miles from home no phone , cash or ID as also had driver’s license tucked into back of phone in the case

Folding and hard licence can't be hacked. Work in a power or communication blackout perfectly too.

They don't not use the word "hack" on folding or hard copy.

They use the word "forge". lol

If they forge it, my originals still work. If they hack them, the digitals may disappear or stop working.

I run all my endorsements on my devices.
Unmatched convenience.

If I lost my wallet someone has it all (and can use it)
If I lose my phone - it’s wiped and bricked in minutes.

If the issuer of your folding / cards is hacked - you may find you’re no longer endorsed/have money/alive (in govt eyes)… just sayin’
