iPhone Driver’s License States: Which Ones Support Apple Wallet in 2025?

In 2025, iPhone driver’s license states are still limited—but growing. Apple’s digital ID feature allows users to securely store their state-issued driver’s license or ID directly in the Wallet app on iPhone or Apple Watch. This is particularly convenient for contactless identity verification at select airports and businesses. While the rollout has been gradual since Apple first announced the feature in 2021, more U.S. states are continuing to adopt it. As of June 2025, 9 states and Puerto Rico already support digital IDs in Wallet, with 8 more states confirmed to follow. Whether you’re traveling, verifying your age, or just tired of carrying a physical card, this guide breaks down which states are on board, where you can use your digital ID, and how Apple is expanding the Wallet’s role in identity verification.

States That Support iPhone Driver’s Licenses in Apple Wallet

Currently, only a handful of iPhone driver’s license states have officially launched the feature. These include:

• Arizona – First to launch in March 2022

• Maryland – Joined in May 2022

• Colorado – Available since November 2022

• Georgia – Went live in May 2023

• Ohio – Introduced in July 2024

• Hawaii – Rolled out in August 2024

• California – Added in September 2024

• Iowa – Active since October 2024

• New Mexico – Most recent, from December 2024

Additionally, Puerto Rico supports driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet, bringing the current total to 10 U.S. jurisdictions.

These digital licenses can be used in various contexts, including airport TSA checkpoints and some businesses. The Wallet app provides a secure, encrypted format that requires Face ID or Touch ID to view or share your ID, adding a privacy-first layer to digital identity management.

States Planning to Add iPhone Driver’s License Support

Apple confirmed that more iPhone driver’s license states are on the way. Although timelines are still unclear, these states have already signed agreements with Apple to adopt digital IDs:

• Montana

• West Virginia

• Connecticut

• Kentucky

• Mississippi

• Oklahoma

• Utah

• Illinois

As of WWDC 2025, Apple reiterated its commitment to expand Wallet ID support but did not specify when each of these states will roll out the feature. State-level policy decisions and technical implementation vary, which is one reason why adoption remains slow. Still, the trend indicates that more users across the U.S. will soon have access to a digital form of identification on iPhone.

Where Can You Use Your iPhone Driver’s License Today?

Digital IDs stored in the Wallet app can be used at select TSA checkpoints in major U.S. airports. These include:

• Baltimore/Washington (BWI)

• Washington Reagan (DCA)

• Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)

• Denver (DEN)

• Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson (ATL)

• Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG)

• Columbus John Glenn (CMH)

• San Francisco (SFO)

• San Jose Mineta (SJC)

• Los Angeles (LAX)

• Honolulu (HNL)

• Des Moines (DSM)

• Eastern Iowa (CID)

• Albuquerque Sunport (ABQ)

• Lea County Regional (HOB)

• San Juan (SJU)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) signage at these locations will confirm availability. Digital ID presentation is currently limited to specific domestic flights and checkpoints. For other use cases—like verifying age at a bar or identity at a hotel—business support varies, and there’s currently no public list of all participating venues.

Digital ID and the Future of Wallet IDs on iPhone

With iOS 26, Apple is introducing a Digital ID option that builds on the existing driver’s license feature. U.S. passport holders will be able to create a Digital ID in Wallet based on their passport information. This Digital ID can be used at select TSA checkpoints for domestic flights within the U.S., but it is not a replacement for your passport when traveling internationally or crossing borders.

Apple emphasizes that all Wallet-based IDs are encrypted and require biometric authentication, ensuring only the user can access or present them. This makes Wallet IDs more secure than carrying a physical card, especially for travelers who want to minimize what they carry or risk losing.

Although the expansion remains slow, Apple is clearly focused on making the iPhone Wallet a central hub for secure digital identification. With more iPhone driver’s license states being added, users can expect continued integration into everyday use—from airport travel to age verification and beyond.
