Last month, a new bill which would allow New Zealanders to carry their driver's licences on their phones passed its first reading in parliament.
The Regulatory Systems (Transport) Amendment Bill got support from all six parties and would give drivers the option of both a physical and digital version.
Prime Minister Chris Luxon called it a "common-sense thing", but what do everyday Kiwis think?
The reaction to our first story on the news was mixed, to say the least, prompting hundreds of Facebook comments both in favour of and vehemently against the idea.
"If your ID goes digital, your money is next. Then it's game over," one person wrote online.
Meanwhile, another pointed out: "If this freaks you out, might as well bin your smart phone."
One person who is already used to the system said, "We have this in Aussie. Needs a password or thumbprint to access the app. It's a hell of a lot more secure than keeping a card in your bloody wallet."
As we all know, things online can be wildly different in real life (that's kind of the whole point of this debate, isn't it?) so we hit the streets to see what people would tell us in person.
On Auckland's Ponsonby Road, there were a lot of positive reactions to the concept, but plenty of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," too.
"It's probably long overdue," one man told us. "As long as it's locked up somehow and you've got a pin, same as having your credit card on your phone."
"I lose things quite a lot," one woman admitted. "At this current moment, I've lost my licence and my wallet altogether, so I'd definitely need it.
Meanwhile, one person called it "government overreach," adding: "The Government can get stuffed."
Surprisingly, lots of people were just attached to the card itself, telling us, "I feel like my pocket would feel naked without it!" and "I like tactile things.
