Colorado’s Digital ID Takes Flight | Denver News

About this episode

Colorado just launched a digital driver’s license that’s now TSA-approved at Denver International Airport and beyond—letting travelers scan their phone via the myColorado app to breeze through security without fumbling for plastic IDs. The system uses real-time facial recognition to verify identity, is fully optional, and even lets you keep your phone in hand the whole time. Governor Jared Polis calls it a game-changer, envisioning a future where wallets become obsolete. Still, experts recommend keeping a physical ID as a backup—just in case your phone dies or glitches. While some travelers remain skeptical, this tech could redefine how we handle ID on the go. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
