When Can You Add Driver’s License to Apple Wallet
Have you been wondering, “when can I add my driver’s license to Apple Wallet?” You aren’t alone! Driver’s license and state ID for Apple Wallet were first announced at the 2021 WWDC and detailed in an Apple press release. As of this writing, Apple’s digital driver’s license program is delayed but slated to move forward within the next six months. Eight states have already signed onto the project, including Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Utah. Apple hopes to include the digital driver’s license in Apple Wallet feature nationwide in the future.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is onboard to start accepting mobile driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet at participating airports, and Apple says, “Participating states and the TSA will share more information at a later date about when support for mobile driver’s licenses and state IDs in Wallet will be available in each state, and which TSA airport security checkpoints and select lanes it will be available at first.”
