Google Wallet adds support for eighth state ID: Montana; IDs can be read via NFC or by having the QR code scanned

August 20, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Google Wallet for Android is now rolling out support for Montana state IDs. Open the Google Wallet app, tap the Add to Wallet FAB (floating action button) in the corner, and then Driver’s license or state ID. This reveals Montana as the eighth Google Wallet option. It joins Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, and New Mexico. In terms of card design, it’s “Montana” in the top-left with the Rocky Mountains and a mountain goat. Montana was first announced this April alongside Arkansas, Puerto Rico, and West Virginia. The set-up process involves taking photos of the front and back of your physical card, as well as a brief video of your face for verification that gets sent to the Montana MVD. It will take a few minutes (or longer) for it to be reviewed with a notification confirming once it’s available. You’ll also get an email confirmation from the agency. “Details” next to “Show code” lets you enable an “Activity history,” while “Driver’s License information” lists license number, date of expiry, address, and more. 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 “does not replace the requirement for individuals to carry a physical card.”
