Live Poll

Would you use a digital driver's license in Apple Wallet if your state offered it?

Apple Wallet driver's licenses launched in Virginia and Oklahoma in the last couple of months. Apple Wallet now supports driver's licenses in 16 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico.

Why it matters

Digital driver's licenses in phone wallets give residents an alternative to carrying physical cards when proving identity. Utah, Kentucky, and North Carolina are expected to join the list soon.

Apple Wallet now supports driver's licenses in 16 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico, and Apple first added the feature in 2021. Utah, Kentucky, and North Carolina are expected to be added, with North Carolina confirming support by early 2027.

The players

Apple

Apple is the technology company behind the Wallet app and its digital identification features, which have expanded to dozens of jurisdictions over time.

Kentucky

Kentucky is a U.S. state that upgraded its digital ID system and plans to bring its driver's licenses to Apple Wallet.

North Carolina

North Carolina is a U.S. state that announced a new digital driver's license system and confirmed Apple Wallet support by early 2027.

The details

Evidence of Utah and Virginia being added to Apple's backend for driver's license support surfaced this summer, and Virginia has since gone live. Kentucky upgraded its digital ID system this summer and announced it will support Apple Wallet licenses afterward, while North Carolina announced a new digital driver's license system.

Summer 2026: Evidence of Utah and Virginia found in Apple's backend; Kentucky upgraded its digital ID system.

Roadmap

Apple first added driver's license support to Wallet in 2021, and the feature has since expanded to 16 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico. The continued state-by-state rollout reflects a broader push to move official identification from physical cards onto smartphones.

Residents of Virginia and Oklahoma can now store their state driver's license in Apple Wallet on their iPhone. Residents of other supported states may be able to add their licenses as more states launch in the coming months.

The takeaway

Digital driver's licenses are becoming a practical option for everyday identification, though availability still depends on which state you live in. Check your state's official transportation or motor vehicle website to confirm whether Apple Wallet support is available for you.
