Here in Denmark we recently got an official digital drivers license. You verify your identity with the government issued 2FA system, scan the NFC chip in your (non-expired) passport, and you're golden. The digital license is as valid as the physical license.
Couple this with NFC payment being a requirement anywhere that takes payment, the banks having developed a way of transferring money between accounts in different banks instantly based on just a phone number, and the digital drivers license, there's never a need to have my wallet on me. At the moment I'm not even sure where it is -- it's somewhere in the apartment.
