Here Are All the States That Support Digital Driver's Licenses in the iPhone Wallet App

There are now 13 states that have added support for storing a driver's license or ID in the Apple Wallet app on iPhone and Apple Watch, with more to come.

Apple Wallet ID Cards

States With iPhone Digital ID Support

  • Arizona
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Georgia
  • Hawaii
  • Illinois
  • Iowa
  • Maryland
  • Montana
  • New Mexico
  • North Dakota
  • Ohio
  • West Virginia

Arizona, Maryland, and Colorado were some of the first states to add support back in 2022, while Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Illinois just added support this year.

Digital IDs are also able to be added to the Wallet app in Puerto Rico.

States Planning to Add Support

Several states have announced plans to support digital IDs in the Wallet app in the future.

  • Connecticut
  • Kentucky
  • Mississippi
  • Oklahoma
  • Utah

There's no word on when these states plan to add support, nor on other states that have not yet committed to introducing the functionality.

Passport Digital IDs

As of November 2025, Apple is allowing iPhone users to create a Digital ID in the Wallet app using a U.S. passport. iPhone and Apple Watch users who do not live in a state that supports digital IDs and driver's licenses can instead use their passport to create an iPhone ID.

Digital IDs created using a passport work the same way as state IDs and driver's licenses added to the Wallet app.

TSA Support

TSA security checkpoints at most major airports in the United States accept digital IDs in lieu of a physical ID. Digital IDs in the Wallet app can only be used for domestic travel.

Age Verification

State IDs stored in the Wallet app can be used for age verification purposes at businesses and retailers that support the functionality. Apple is also adding support for using IDs for age verification in apps and on websites.

Physical ID Requirements

Most states say that iPhone users are still required to present a physical ID if requested, and a digital ID cannot be used in lieu of an actual ID.

Digital IDs based on a passport cannot be used for international travel or border crossing purposes, so a physical passport is still required.

How to Add an ID

An eligible driver's license, ID, or passport can be added to the Wallet app on iPhone by tapping on the "+" sign in the upper right corner and then choosing the "Driver's License and ID Cards" option.

Device Compatibility

Using the digital ID feature in the Wallet app requires an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16.5 or later or an Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watchOS 9.5 or later.

Adding a passport requires an iPhone 11 or later running iOS 26.1 or later or an Apple Watch Series 6 running watchOS 26.1 or later.

With just three days to go until the iPhone Duo is released, Apple is getting ready for the launch. Behind the scenes, the App Store now has screenshots of Apple's built-in apps running on the Duo. We've seen some apps in marketing materials, but images of the ones we haven't seen give us an idea of what it will be like using the iPhone Duo day to day. Many apps are shown in landscape...

Apple has temporarily removed Keynote, Pages, and Numbers from the App Store, just after releasing an update that added iPhone Duo support and a new Intelligent Assistant. It is not clear if the apps were removed intentionally, or if it is a bug. Apple has not said when the apps will be reinstated, but if it was in error, they should return soon.

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

Why bother if you are still required to carry the physical ID ?

Pull a page from the Koch brothers… Apple could hire local lawyers to draft the legislation for the respective legislatures and allow the collection of the number interested persons for each state to be collected in Apple Wallet for each state to examine. Something like a “I’m interest in a mobile Driver’s License but my state isn’t listed” button for people to use. Make it easy for the legislators, make it clear to the legislators.

No they don't. It should be a very common sense conclusion to assume that once adoption is more widespread it'll mean less physical cards we need to carry with us.

It'd be nice to have the US passport feature be available for those of us living overseas. I get that it doesn't replace physical passports for international travel, but ID's have uses other than just travel. I can't help but feel electronic ID's are more secure that a printed piece of paper or plastic that somebody could steal.
