### Apple Wallet Driver's Licenses Coming to Three New States

9to5Mac • September 22, 2026 at 10:03 AM ET

Apple Wallet driver's licenses recently launched in Virginia and Oklahoma, bringing the total to 16 US states plus Puerto Rico supporting the feature on iPhone. Three more states—Utah, Kentucky, and North Carolina—appear set to join soon. Evidence discovered this summer showed Utah and Virginia added to Apple's backend for driver's license support; Virginia has since gone live, suggesting Utah will launch next.

Kentucky announced support after upgrading its digital ID system this summer, and indications suggest the upgrade is complete. North Carolina recently launched a new digital driver's license system and confirmed Apple Wallet support by early 2027. The acceleration of states adopting Wallet driver's licenses continues, though additional states could launch before these three.

For now, Utah, Kentucky, and North Carolina remain the strongest candidates for near-term debut.
