Download BGSU becomes 1st university in U.S. to accept mobile ID for age verification APK latest version developed by , for Androd, from APK.BOATS!
Bowling Green State University (BGSU) in Ohio has made history as the first university in the United States to accept mobile IDs, such as driver’s licenses stored in Apple Wallet, for age verification at athletic events. This advancement allows students and visitors to present their mobile driver’s license via NFC-enabled technology for secure, seamless verification at concession stands.
The initiative is part of a broader collaboration with InnovateOhio, which supports technology adoption across the state. Ohioans can add their state-issued IDs to Apple Wallet, which BGSU now integrates into its event services. This modernized approach only shares necessary data (e.g., age and photo) and eliminates the need to hand over a physical card, enhancing privacy and convenience.
Beyond age verification, this technology complements other innovations on the BGSU campus, including autonomous delivery robots and frictionless checkout options in campus stores. It also aligns with efforts to improve the fan experience by reducing wait times and streamlining event services.
