If I had to hazard a guess, there would be an app for each ID, with Wallet (or your platform's equivalent), aggregating them all. US citizen? US Gov app. Have temporary or permanent residency somewhere? Another app developed or sponsored by that government.

(i am a beta tester in a state digital ID system rollout)

In Poland something like this is widely deployed. Unfortunately it doesn't integrate with wallet.

There's a single "Mobile Citizen" app and there you download various kinds of IDs into it, by logging in to the relevant website for that ID.

Though you can't use it in place of your ID card, it's enough to get you through I.e. police identification. You can also download your driver license, student id, European covid passport, etc. onto it, and those do count as the real thing.
