Passengers can now verify their identity at the airport using their state-issued mobile driver’s license or mobile identification card in Apple Wallet on iPhone or Apple Watch.
The full webinar recording from FTE’s recent webinar in partnership with Idemia on ‘Next Generation Travel through Trusted Identity & Biometric Solutions’ is now available to watch.
