Google has announced new Google Wallet features that will enable users to digitize their numerous passes, cards, and IDs. One of the most intriguing new features is the ability to save credentials to Wallet from an image.

Google Wallet will create and retain a digital version of any card that a user takes a photo of, such as a gym membership card, parking pass, or any other pass with a barcode or QR code. This functionality is anticipated to be accessible shortly.

Google has also enabled Google Wallet users to store Humana health insurance credentials. In the United Kingdom, users will be able to save their National Insurance Number to Wallet via the HMRC app.

To protect sensitive data, Google will label these passes as “private passes” in your Google Wallet, requiring additional authentication such as a PIN or biometric scan to add, use, or view them.

Google Wallet makes it easy to save tickets, IDs, and more.

In addition to the ability to add Maryland IDs or driver’s licenses to Wallet, Google will introduce corporate insignia later this year.

The ability to complete the travel check-in procedure in the Messages app, receive a boarding pass or train ticket there, and save it to Wallet is an upcoming feature. Google will initially implement this with Vietnam Airlines and the Spanish railway company Renfe.

The Director of Product Management for Google Wallet, Dong Min Kim, stated in a statement that “Google Wallet is centralizing tools that help consumers move seamlessly through an increasingly digital world.”

The majority of these new features have vague release dates, with Google stating “soon” or “later this year” In addition, Google says it will launch Google Wallet in additional countries “in the next few weeks.”
