We don’t need it in Poland. We’ve been using a similar but official government issued app with ID, driving license, car documents for years now. Works both on Android and iPhone. Can be also used for logging into government web apps like taxes, for document signing or for voting. And it reminds me whenever my car insurance expires or it needs the annual check. Pretty impressive IMHO.

I was thinking of US permanent residents that have an interest in this but no US passport.

I can see them eventually doing this. Nothing on the tech side stopping them.

You gotta start somewhere. They started with Driver's Licenses.
