Apple Says These 7 U.S. States Plan to Offer iPhone Driver’s Licenses

Max Headroom 2026.02.09 3 min read

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.

The feature is currently available in 13 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, and it is expected to launch in at least seven more in the future.

To set up the feature, open the Wallet app and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, select Driver’s License and ID Cards and follow the steps.

Supported States

The following 13 states offer driver’s licenses in the Wallet app:

Arizona (since March 2022)

Maryland (since May 2022)

Colorado (since November 2022)

Georgia (since May 2023)

Ohio (since July 2024)

Hawaii (since August 2024)

California (since September 2024)

Iowa (since October 2024)

New Mexico (since December 2024)
Montana (since August 2025)

North Dakota (since September 2025)

West Virginia (since October 2025)

Illinois (since November 2025)

The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Future States

Apple and local DMV offices have announced that the following U.S. states have signed on to adopt the feature, but no timeframes were disclosed:

Connecticut

Kentucky

Mississippi

Oklahoma

Utah

Arkansas

Virginia

Participating Airports

Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports in the U.S., for domestic travel. Given that Apple Wallet IDs are not accepted by law enforcement, and lack many other use cases, carrying a physical ID is still necessary.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

Digital Passport

If you live in a state that does not yet offer Apple Wallet IDs, you can now create a Digital ID based on your U.S. passport, and present it at the same participating TSA checkpoints, for age and identity verification purposes during domestic travel. It is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel.
