    Does your phone have to be unlocked to show your ID?

    No.

    From the Apple Support Article on presenting your ID:

    How to present your driver’s license or state ID in person

    1. Hold the top of your iPhone or the display of your Apple Watch near the identity reader. You don’t need to unlock, show, or hand over your device to present your license or ID.
    2. On the screen of your device, review the information that will be shared.
    3. To provide your consent:
    • On an iPhone using Face ID: Double-click the side button to authenticate.
    • On an iPhone using Touch ID: Hold your finger on the Home button to authenticate.
    • On an Apple Watch: Double-click the side button. When you successfully present your license or ID, a checkmark and Done appear on your device.
