Don’t need the digital ID in the U.S. yet. Right now they want us to have a “real ID” which is still a physical drivers license it just has “enhanced security features”. I don’t know what they are, I don’t have one. If you don’t have a “real ID”, you have to have a passport to fly.

Yeah real id is the name for the American digital id.
So many people seem to have fallen for it, it'll be the same here.
They'll rename it the age verification system.
We've had digital id since 2021, very few people used it, rona was the excuse, scan a QR code whenever you enter a building or travel anywhere.
People hated it.
But a simple name change and I bet people will sign up for the convenience.
It'll be renamed the convenient alternative for age verification, something along those lines.
Real ID primarily:
- sets a lowest security requirement for the card issued (UV, holograms, etc.)
- sets a minimum required process to verify that it is actually you getting the ID
- requires some other things about your legal status to get one
- requires machine-readable barcode with the same data as the front of the card
