Apple Wallet Driver’s License Feature to Launch in Four More U.S. States

In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver’s license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps. According to a new report and evidence within Apple’s code, the feature is set to expand to four more states.



A few days ago, North Carolina’s Division of Motor Vehicles announced that it plans to launch a mobile ID program. As reported by WRAL, North Carolina residents will be able to set up a digital ID through a new NC Wallet app starting in December, with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet support to follow in “early 2027.”

According to code seen by MacRumors, Apple Wallet IDs are also coming to Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia, but there is no timeframe for availability.

All in all, Apple Wallet IDs are coming to these four states:

  • North Carolina

  • Oklahoma

  • Utah

  • Virginia

The following 14 states already offer Apple Wallet IDs:

The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports in the U.S. for domestic travel, and this will include Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Given that Apple Wallet IDs are not accepted by law enforcement or by all businesses, carrying a physical ID is still necessary.

Travelers should refer to TSA signage to confirm availability of the feature.

To set up the feature, open the Wallet app on the iPhone and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, tap on Driver’s License and ID Cards, select your state from the list, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process.
