What is the iPhone Driver's License Feature in Apple Wallet?
Apple has rolled out the iPhone Driver's License feature in Apple Wallet in Illinois, letting residents add their driver’s license or state ID directly to the Wallet app. This digital ID can be used for contactless verification at select airports, businesses, and venues, making it a safer and more convenient way to prove your identity.
How to Set Up Your iPhone Driver's License in Apple Wallet
Setting up the feature is simple. Open the Wallet app on your iPhone, tap the plus sign in the top-right corner, then choose Driver’s License and ID Cards. Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your identity and add your ID. Once added, it works on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
Where Can You Use Your iPhone Driver's License in Illinois?
The iPhone Driver's License feature in Apple Wallet is accepted at TSA checkpoints in over 250 airports nationwide, including O’Hare and Midway in Chicago. It can also be used to show proof of age or identity at participating businesses and venues, though Apple does not maintain a comprehensive list of locations yet.
Why the iPhone Driver's License Feature Matters
This new feature combines convenience, security, and speed. Users no longer need to carry a physical ID for travel or age verification, reducing contact points and simplifying daily interactions. Apple’s rollout in Illinois sets the stage for broader adoption across other U.S. states in the coming months.
