\t\"\"<\/p>\n

After the tenth addition earlier this month<\/a>, Google Wallet on Android is now rolling out support for Puerto Rico IDs.<\/p>\n

Open the Google Wallet app, tap the Add to Wallet FAB (floating action button) in the corner, and then Driver\u2019s license or state ID. This reveals Puerto Rico as the 11th Google Wallet option. It joins Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, and North Dakota.<\/p>\n

In terms of card design, it shows the coqu\u00ed frog, with a seal in the bottom-left corner. Upcoming availability was previewed in April 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The set-up process involves taking photos of the front and back of your physical card, as well as a short video of your face for verification that gets sent to the PR DTOP. This review can take a few minutes with a notification confirming once it\u2019s available. You\u2019ll also get an emailed confirmation from the agency.<\/p>\n

First, tap on the reader or scan your QR code: Your personal info won\u2019t be shared yet. On your phone, review what info you want to share.<\/p>\n

Next, review what info will be shared: Make sure you\u2019re comfortable sharing the info they request<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to hand your phone to anyone: Your ID will be securely shared using Bluetooth, so make sure it\u2019s on<\/p>\n

Lastly, verify it\u2019s you to share your info: For extra security, verify that this ID is yours using your face, fingerprint, password, or PIN<\/p>\n

\u201cDetails\u201d next to \u201cShow code\u201d lets you enable an \u201cActivity history,\u201d while \u201cDriver\u2019s License information\u201d lists license number, date of expiry, address, and more.<\/p>\n

IDs can be read via NFC or by having the QR code scanned. It is accepted in some airports by the TSA. Officially, you still have to carry your ID card as the one on your phone \u201cdoes not replace the requirement for individuals to carry a physical card.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your device must be running Android 8+ and have a screen lock, with Bluetooth and Nearby devices enabled. A state ID can be deleted from Google Wallet anytime or remotely via myaccount.google.com<\/a>. As a private pass, it does not get synced to the cloud and is only available on one device.<\/p>\n

Tap Personal Info.<\/p>\n

Scroll to \u201cDigital ID.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tap Manage Digital ID.<\/p>\n

Next to the ID or license that you want to remove, tap Delete.<\/p>\n

Confirm that you want to delete your ID from your device and Google Account.<\/p>\n
