At WWDC 2021, Apple announced support for storing your driver's license in Apple Wallet on iPhone. Since then, support has gradually expanded across the United States. Currently, iPhone and Apple Watch users in 14 states and Puerto Rico can add their driver's license or state ID to Apple Wallet.

The following seven states have confirmed their work on Apple Wallet driver's license support, been touted as a partner by Apple, and/or appeared in Apple code: Kentucky (launching in "summer" 2026), North Carolina (coming in early 2027), Oklahoma (in the works, launch TBD), Utah (in the works, launch TBD), Virginia (in the works, launch TBD), Connecticut (status unclear, previously touted as a partner by Apple), and Mississippi (status unclear, previously touted as a partner by Apple).

Meanwhile, the Secure Technology Alliance has been tracking the rollout of mobile driver's license support across the US. Several states are exploring mobile ID support through legislation or studies but have not been referenced by Apple: Indiana, Vermont, New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Progress varies significantly from state to state. Just because a state is exploring or developing support for digital IDs doesn't mean it will ultimately launch, let alone come to Apple Wallet. However, users can try out the Digital ID feature powered by US passport at more than 250 airports in the United States.
