9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple Wallet currently supports storing driver’s licenses or state IDs in 14 states and Puerto Rico, enabling users to use their iPhone or Apple Watch as a digital ID.
- Seven additional states, including Kentucky (launching summer 2026) and North Carolina (early 2027), have confirmed plans or are working on integrating Apple Wallet driver’s license support, though some states’ statuses remain unclear.
- Several other states are exploring mobile ID support through legislation or studies, but this does not guarantee future Apple Wallet compatibility or launch dates.
- Apple also offers a Digital ID feature powered by US passports, allowing iPhone users to pass TSA checkpoints at over 250 US airports, providing an alternative while driver’s license support expands.
- The rollout of Apple Wallet driver’s license support remains uneven across the US, with varying progress and timelines depending on state decisions and partnerships.
