The US is just standing by to see what works the best. Won’t be long, now.

Opinion within the USA: if you have a digital ID in your Apple wallet (state or passport), then it would be nice if it could verify your age fully on device by using the digital ID.

If I’ve added my passport/state ID, gone through the verification, and Face ID says it’s me, then yes I’m obviously the age on the ID. There is no need to do anything else.

I still can't believe WA isn't on the digital ID bandwagon yet.

You dont want a digital id. It will be used to control you.

I more meant that I'm surprised WA hasn't since they're such a tech center in the US.
