Oregon doesn't even have this on the radar anywhere, and I'm kinda bummed. Probably still carry my wallet with me for the indefinite future, but having an alternate option would be nice.
I'd be up for a mobile passport, too. Already has a chip anyway that gets read, so what's the difference? And on the plus side that would be something you wouldn't accidentally forget in the hotel safe.
What I'd want to establish, however, is what the backup plan looks like if your phone gets lost/stolen/destroyed. How quickly can I bet up and running on a replacement device, and what hoops will I have to jump through to get it working again?
- ghaff 2y agoI expect that, if this becomes the norm, you're basically in a world of hurt if your phone gets stolen, lost, broken, etc. Bad things obviously can already happen if your backpack gets lifted etc. But I'm personally already very nervous about tying everything to my phone. I do still carry a wallet, albeit a small front-pocket one with just a little cash and some important cards. But, then, I don't really like not to have a paper map of some sort when hiking in unfamiliar locations either.
