Privacy for digital IDs

Privacy for US driver's license or state ID

When you apply for a digital ID in Google Wallet on your phone, you provide us with certain info such as photos of the front and back of your ID, and a brief video of your face.

With your consent, we share your ID info and an image of your face from the video with the government agency that issued your ID, as part of your request for a digital ID.

We will only send your request to the government agency with your consent.

That agency will review your info. If your submission is approved, your encrypted US Driver's License or State ID will be saved on your device. You may view and manage it on your device and control when your ID is shared. Also, we record the fact that you consented.

Your US Driver's License or State ID is considered a private pass. Learn more about private passes.

Any data, including data used for analytics purposes, used by Google will be done in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.

Privacy for ID passes

To protect your privacy and security, Google uses your passport and a brief video of your face to verify it’s you and to create your ID pass. Google uses your passport info to confirm that the passport is valid and accurate, reviews the video to make sure you're a real person, and then compares the video to your passport photo to make sure you're the owner of the passport.

Once verified, we’ll use your passport info to create your ID pass. Your ID pass will be saved and encrypted in Google Wallet, where only you can view and share it.

You’re in control. You control when and how info from your ID pass is shared. You can also delete your ID pass anytime following the instructions listed above.

Any data handled by Google will be done in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy, including data used to meet our legal obligations, for analytics, to maintain and improve ID passes, and to prevent fraud and abuse.

Your use of an ID pass in Google Wallet is subject to the Google Terms of Service and the Google Wallet User Policy.
