My state has that as well, but you are still required to carry a physical license if you are driving, same with car insurance info on paper. It doesn’t solve much of a problem since that is the case.
I am far less worried of losing my phone than my wallet. I have eyeballs or my hand on my phone probably every two minutes while I am awake. I use it to navigate and play music in my car. I use it for just about everything at work. I won’t forget it at home, or leave it in my car. If I don’t have it with me I will know pretty quickly and track my steps. My wallet on the other hand, I will go days without needing it. It is far more likely for me to not realize my wallet is missing than my phone. If I dropped and broke my phone, having to link my ID again is the least of my worries. Thank would be a lot easier than ordering a new physical copy.
Well, I can say, I’ve never lost my wallet, and it’s highly unlikely I ever will, unless I’m ever robbed of course. My wallet stays in my pocket, 24/7, even when I’m sleeping.
You can’t do that in the US. To give you another ID they have to punch a hole in the first one, rendering it invalid. Otherwise everyone would just get multiple IDs and sell the extras to their underage friends.
American here. Some states have digital IDs now. I’m in California and we have this…

I can drop my physical license and it won’t be damaged. I drop my phone, that’s like an eggshell these days…
Why would I want my ID on a fragile device, that thieves like to steal no less?
I have both. Lose/forget my wallet, still got it on my phone.
I sleep with my wallet in my pocket, plus my wallet doesn’t need recharging…

Thieves like to steal wallets too
Yes, of course. But I can drop my wallet and it won’t break.
Ok grandpa.
I’m planning on getting multiple IDs when mine expires. 1 for my wallet, one to keep in my car, and a backup at home.
