Apple Expands Apple Wallet Support for Driver’s Licenses Across U.S. States

Apple is gradually expanding its Apple Wallet feature to allow users to store driver’s licenses and state IDs. Currently, 14 states and Puerto Rico support this functionality, enabling users to access their credentials digitally. The article highlights seven states confirmed to launch support in 2026-2027, including Kentucky and North Carolina, while others like Oklahoma and Virginia are in development. Connecticut and Mississippi have unclear statuses despite previous partnerships with Apple. The Secure Technology Alliance tracks mobile ID adoption across the U.S., noting states like Indiana and Florida are exploring legislation. However, progress varies significantly, and not all states will adopt the feature. Users can also use Apple’s Digital ID feature powered by a U.S. passport for TSA access at over 250 airports. The rollout remains fragmented, with no nationwide standardization yet. While Apple’s initiative aims to reduce reliance on physical wallets, the article emphasizes the slow, state-by-state adoption process and the importance of verifying local availability before relying on digital IDs.
