Digital ID & Driver's License in Apple Wallet App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — State ID, mDL & 数字身份证 / 驾照 zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Digital ID in Apple Wallet on the product page — driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mobile driver's license (mDL), present ID at TSA or age-verification gates, or Add Driver's License to Wallet credential screens — and your en-US listing sells that government-ID story on gallery frames.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Digital ID", "Driver's License", "State ID", "Present ID", or "Add to Wallet" in Latin script.
Showing Digital ID credential UI in your app or screenshots does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your Digital ID gallery frames actually look, not mDL engineering or DMV credential provisioning.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Market Digital ID in Apple Wallet on the en-US product page — driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mDL, present ID at TSA or age verification, or Add Driver's License to Wallet flows on gallery screenshots
Show government-issued ID credential cards, mDL presentation sheets, or identity-verification gates on screenshot galleries — buyer story is government Digital ID credentials in Wallet, not the Wallet card stack with boarding passes or campus student ID cards
Finished Digital ID–adjacent features or integrations in the binary on supported devices — not looking for mDL protocol engineering, state DMV enrollment, or Wallet.framework credential provisioning help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Digital ID badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for ISO 18013-5 APIs, not a designer to re-export screenshot PNGs, not Apple Pay merchant setup
mDL credential provisioning vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Digital ID capability in Wallet covers storefront language. mDL issuance, Wallet frameworks, and Connect actually separate credential behavior from product-page copy:
State DMV & mDL issuance — enrolling a driver's license or state ID with a participating state authority, identity proofing, and credential binding. Controls whether users hold a government ID in Wallet — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
ISO 18013-5 & Wallet.framework identity APIs — presenting mDL credentials, selective disclosure, and reader interactions at TSA or age gates in SwiftUI or UIKit. Listing copy may mention Digital ID frames; building credential APIs is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Apple Wallet card stack — digital wallet home screen, boarding passes, loyalty cards, transit cards, and campus student ID cards. Separate buyer story from government Digital ID credentials — see Apple Wallet listing guide.
Apple Pay checkout — NFC tap-to-pay and in-app payment sheets at retail checkout. Separate from government ID credential marketing — see Apple Pay listing guide.
Apple Cash & Tap to Cash — peer-to-peer money transfers and balance screens under Settings → Wallet & Apple Pay. Not government ID — see Apple Cash listing guide.
Tap to Pay on iPhone — merchant contactless acceptance. Covered on our Tap to Pay listing guide — not Digital ID credential marketing.
In-app Digital ID labels — runtime strings on credential faces, present-ID sheets, or verification prompts inside Wallet. Listing rewrite does not cover String Catalog entries rendered after install.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Digital ID features in the binary.
Working Digital ID integration and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Digital ID, driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mDL, and 数字身份证 / 驾照 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you enroll users with state authorities or implement ISO 18013-5 in code.
Digital ID listing copy vs Wallet card stack vs Apple Pay vs Apple Cash vs Passwords
Wallet-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — government Digital ID and driver's license credential marketing on the product page:
Digital ID & driver's license in Wallet (this page) — government-issued credentials: driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mobile driver's license (mDL), present ID at TSA or age verification, Add Driver's License to Wallet, and identity-verification gallery frames with 数字身份证, 驾照, 驾驶证, 州身份证, 移动驾照, mDL, and 身份证明 vocabulary.
Apple Wallet app & card stack (different) — digital wallet home screen, payment cards in Wallet, boarding passes, tickets, loyalty cards, transit cards, student ID in Wallet, and Add to Wallet card-carousel frames. Covered on our Apple Wallet guide — 钱包 card stack and campus student ID, not government Digital ID credentials as the lead.
Apple Wallet Passes / PKPass (different) — pass file creation, .pkpass signing, and Add to Apple Wallet pass provisioning. Covered on our Wallet Passes guide — pass files, not government mDL credential marketing.
Apple Pay & tap-to-pay checkout (different) — Pay with iPhone, NFC checkout sheets, and in-store tap-to-pay marketing. Covered on our Apple Pay guide — payment rails at checkout terminals, not government ID credentials.
Apple Cash peer-to-peer balance (different) — send and receive money, Apple Cash card, add money, and balance screens. Covered on our Apple Cash guide — 苹果现金 transfers, not Digital ID credentials.
Tap to Pay on iPhone merchant (different) — terminal-style contactless acceptance for merchants. Covered on our Tap to Pay guide — merchant Accept payments, not mDL presentation.
Passwords & Passkeys (different) — saved passwords, AutoFill, and passkey sign-in marketing. Covered on our Passwords guide and Passkeys guide — credential vaults for sign-in, not government ID in Wallet.
Apple Card credit card (different) — credit-card detail screens under Settings → Wallet & Apple Pay. Covered on our Apple Card guide — 苹果卡, not government Digital ID.
Your screenshots may show a driver's license credential beside a Wallet card stack. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a government Digital ID credential is not a campus student ID card, not a boarding pass, not a tap-to-pay checkout sheet, and not a saved-password vault.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Digital ID copy is missing
Digital ID–aware purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate credential value in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Digital ID positioning
Untranslated Digital ID badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Digital ID", "Driver's License", "State ID", "Present ID", "mDL", or "Add to Wallet" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Credential value in English — description opens with US Digital ID marketing ("Store your driver's license in Apple Wallet") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 数字身份证, 驾照, 驾驶证, 州身份证, or mDL; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Calling government ID "student ID" — machine translation that uses 学生证 for campus cards when your frames show state-issued driver's license or state ID credentials — confusing buyers who expect government Digital ID vocabulary
Calling Digital ID "Apple Pay" — 苹果支付 fits checkout sheets; 数字身份证 or 驾照 fits government credentials in Wallet
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps Digital ID–aware buyers understand credential value before install. It does not replace mDL implementation, state DMV enrollment, or Apple's review decisions — and it must not conflate government credentials with campus student ID cards or payment rails.
Digital ID–specific listing copy — what translates differently
Digital ID in Wallet listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe government credentials — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Digital ID vs 数字身份证 vs driver's license
US pages use "Digital ID", "Driver's License in Wallet", or "State ID." China storefront copy often uses 数字身份证 for government digital identity credentials and 驾照 or 驾驶证 for driver's license frames. Apple keeps Digital ID and mDL as product terms where appropriate alongside Chinese phrasing on screenshot overlays.
State ID & 州身份证
Non-driver state identification cards stored in Wallet appear on credential screenshots. Chinese buyers expect 州身份证 for state ID frames — distinct from 驾照 for driver's license cards and from 学生证 for campus student ID on the Apple Wallet card-stack guide.
mDL & 移动驾照
Mobile driver's license (mDL) terminology appears on identity-verification and TSA presentation frames. Chinese App Store copy commonly uses 移动驾照 alongside mDL when that matches your English source — describing the credential surface your gallery shows, not ISO 18013-5 engineering we do not deliver.
Present ID & identity verification
US pages use "Present ID", "Verify your identity", or "Show ID at TSA." Chinese App Store copy uses 出示身份证, 身份验证, or 身份证明 when your frames show those flows — not Passwords or Passkeys sign-in vocabulary from a different shop guide.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Digital ID–relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 数字身份证, 驾照, and mDL each signal different intent from generic Wallet or payment keywords.
Before / after — Digital ID listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Apple Pay checkout or Wallet card-stack copy:
Screenshot caption — Before: Digital ID → After: 数字身份证
Description line — Before: Driver's license in Apple Wallet — present ID at TSA → After: 驾照存入 Apple 钱包 — 在 TSA 出示身份证
Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: State ID in Wallet → After: 州身份证存入钱包
Keyword field — Before: Digital ID,driver license,mDL,state ID,Wallet → After: 数字身份证,驾照,驾驶证,州身份证,mDL,Apple Wallet
Final phrasing depends on your English claims, credential types on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.
Common mistakes on Digital ID zh-Hans listings
Assuming Digital ID integration localizes automatically — credentials ship in the app; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Digital ID screenshot caption lines still English
Conflating government ID with campus student ID — listing uses 学生证 when the buyer story is state-issued driver's license or state ID; see Apple Wallet guide for student ID card-stack scope
Conflating Digital ID with Wallet Passes engineering — listing describes PKPass signing when the buyer story is mDL credential UI on gallery frames
Calling credentials "Apple Pay" — 苹果支付 fits checkout sheets; 数字身份证 or 驾照 fits government ID in Wallet
English Driver's License on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
Mixing up this page with Passwords or Passkeys — saved-password and passkey sign-in marketing are different string families; see dedicated guides
Expecting AppLocale to implement mDL or DMV enrollment — credential issuance, ISO 18013-5 APIs, and TSA reader QA are outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Digital ID listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm which Digital ID surfaces your app markets — driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mDL presentation, present ID, age verification — listing copy must match your gallery frames
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Digital ID marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Digital ID", "Driver's License", "State ID", "Present ID", "mDL", "Add Driver's License to Wallet", "Verify identity")
List screenshot frames that show Digital ID UI — note which gallery images show credential cards, present-ID sheets, or verification gates so caption lines match frame order
Separate listing from in-app credential strings — listing rewrite does not cover credential-face labels or verification prompts rendered inside Wallet after install
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Digital ID–themed app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Digital ID or driver's license positioning within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (数字身份证, 驾照, 驾驶证, 州身份证, mDL as appropriate)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Digital ID listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Digital ID", "Driver's License", "State ID", "Present ID", "mDL", "Add Driver's License to Wallet", and verification-frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Digital ID feature promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Digital ID listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement mDL, ISO 18013-5, or state DMV credential provisioning
Does not build Wallet.framework identity-credential APIs, presentation flows, or TSA reader integrations in code
Does not configure Apple Pay merchant IDs, NFC tap-to-pay, or Tap to Pay on iPhone merchant terminal setup
Does not write Apple Pay checkout or NFC tap-to-pay listing copy — see the Apple Pay guide
Does not write Apple Wallet card-stack or student ID listing copy — see the Apple Wallet guide
Does not write Apple Cash or Tap to Cash peer-to-peer listing copy — see the Apple Cash guide
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Digital ID listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which credential surfaces your gallery shows, screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does adding a driver's license to Apple Wallet auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Provisioning a Digital ID, driver's license, or state ID credential in Wallet controls runtime behavior inside the binary — it does not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. If zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, or screenshot caption fields are empty or still English, the China storefront falls back to en-US copy.
Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Digital ID, driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mDL, present ID, 数字身份证, 驾照, 驾驶证, 州身份证, 移动驾照, and 身份证明 — rewritten from your English originals.
Does AppLocale implement mDL or state DMV enrollment?
No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. mDL credential issuance, ISO 18013-5 presentation APIs, state DMV integrations, and Wallet.framework identity provisioning are engineering tasks outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from the Wallet card stack, student ID, Apple Pay, and Passwords pages?
Digital ID listing copy covers government-issued credentials — driver's license in Wallet, state ID, mDL, and present ID on gallery frames. Apple Wallet listing copy covers the digital wallet home screen, boarding passes, loyalty cards, transit cards, and campus student ID in Wallet. Apple Pay listing copy covers tap-to-pay checkout. Apple Cash listing copy covers peer-to-peer transfers. Passwords listing copy covers saved credentials for sign-in. Each surface has a separate guide.
Why do my Digital ID screenshot captions still say Driver's License in English on China?
Screenshot overlay lines and caption fields are per localization in App Store Connect. If you never filled zh-Hans caption fields — or pasted English into the Chinese screenshot set — China buyers see Latin script on frames meant to signal 数字身份证, 驾照, or 州身份证 value.
Should zh-Hans copy use 数字身份证 or student ID phrasing?
数字身份证, 驾照, and 州身份证 fit government Digital ID marketing. 学生证 fits campus student ID on the Apple Wallet card-stack guide. 苹果支付 fits checkout sheets on the Apple Pay guide. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English claims and screenshot frames.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English (or partial zh-Hans) name, subtitle, keywords, description, screenshot overlay lines with frame order noted, which frames show Digital ID credential or verification UI, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will zh-Hans Digital ID copy improve China rankings?
We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand Digital ID value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
