The Apple and Google wallet apps have ways to add your id, but the web apis aren’t widely available yet.

Here’s Google’s doc:

Looks like it will support zero knowledge proofs?



A ton of states also don’t support it.

I, for example, couldn’t add my driver’s license even if I wanted to.


Yeah, it's more about the future. Maybe in a year or three, you'll be able to write a website that does age verification using a standard web API, without processing any identity documents yourself, and expect it to work.

And sometimes kids will put fake ID's on their phones, or borrow a phone, but that's not your problem.
