The Georgia House of Representatives passed legislation that would allow residents to use a digital driver’s license on their smartphone in place of their physical license. The chamber passed House Bill 1001 Wednesday on a 168-1 vote.

Republican State Rep. Clay Pirkle of Ashburn says with about 300,000 Georgia driver’s licenses downloaded into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, it’s time to make clear that a digital license is enough.
