Samsung Galaxy phone users can now save personal IDs, documents in Wallet

Samsung on Monday announced that Galaxy smartphone users can now access all their essential digital IDs such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Driving License and Vehicle Registration Certificates from the all-new ‘Samsung Wallet’.

Galaxy smartphone users can also store their Co-WIN vaccination certificates conveniently and securely on their phones.

“With Samsung Wallet, we are offering consumers an entirely safe and secure environment for accessing their cards, IDs and documents, bringing a new level of everyday convenience to mobile devices. This also strengthens our commitment to being a strong partner of India with our vision of Powering Digital India,” Reshma Virmani, Director, Services & Engagement, Samsung India, said in a statement.

With these new features, users can recharge and check their FASTag account, save their flight boarding passes for quick and easy access, and take advantage of a complete train ticket solution within Samsung Wallet, including booking and saving tickets, checking train status, and more. Users can add train tickets or boarding passes by scanning the QR or barcode or importing the image or PDF to Samsung Wallet.

Moreover, the company said that users will be able to show proof of identity and travel documents needed to enter airports directly from Samsung Wallet. Users will also be able to access over 2,000 other IDs/documents directly from Samsung Wallet.
