Expanding Digital ID Support
Apple Wallet is expanding its support for driver's licenses to three additional states: Utah, Kentucky, and North Carolina. This follows the recent introduction of digital IDs in Virginia and Oklahoma. The inclusion of these states will bring the total number of US states, plus Puerto Rico, supporting the feature to nearly 20.
Upcoming State Launches
Evidence from Apple's backend indicated Utah's upcoming support, similar to Virginia's prior to its launch. Kentucky previously announced its intention to support Apple Wallet driver's licenses after upgrading its digital ID system, which is now complete. North Carolina confirmed its digital driver's license system will support Apple Wallet by early 2027.
Growing Adoption of Digital IDs
Digital IDs have become more common since Apple first added support to the Wallet app in 2021. The acceleration of states adopting Wallet driver's licenses indicates a growing trend towards digital identification methods across the United States.
