Wouldn't Wallet have benefits for the registered user such as improved security, ease of access and in some cases the driver's license on iPhone may be accepted for ID purposes by some merchants or government agencies and increasingly so in the future with biometrics.?

Maybe, in the future... which is not relevant now as there is only one state that accepts an electronic drivers license for identification and that requires a special app. In addition, that State's electronic drivers license is NOT accepted in other States.

The short answer is , yes. The long answer is that the issuer must support digital passes. I know most of the country thinks Alabama is bassackwards when it comes to most issues, but Alabama was one of the first to offer a digital ID that also works with Wallet. See http://www.alea.gov/Documents/NewsReleases/ALRenewalDriverLicenseRelease.pdf. So, check with your local DL office...

If Apple took the attitude that ”it wont be accepted anyway” there would be no new innovation.

Hertz will accept an email on your phone from the state showing your license. Why not put a drivers license in wallet. If its secure enough for a credit card, it should be secure enough for a license. Cops will look you up independently and car Rental places would support it (cause the states who issue the licenses would have to issue their own app to app store.
