In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, providing a convenient and contactless way to display proof of identity or age at select airports, businesses, and venues.
The feature has been slow to roll out since Apple first announced it in September 2021, with IDs in the Wallet app only available in Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, and Ohio so far. California also appears to be preparing to support the feature, based on evidence found on the state's Department of Motor Vehicles website.
Over two years ago, Apple shared a list of additional states committed to supporting the feature in the future, but none have announced any plans yet.
Participating States
- Arizona (since March 2022)
- Maryland (since May 2022)
- Colorado (since November 2022)
- Georgia (since May 2023)
- Ohio (since July 2024)
Committed States
As mentioned above, California appears to be planning to support the feature.
In addition, Apple in March 2022 said the seven states listed below would "soon" allow residents to add their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app, but over two years have passed and none of these states support the feature yet.
- Connecticut
- Hawaii
- Iowa
- Kentucky
- Mississippi
- Oklahoma
- Utah
Apple also said the feature would be supported in Puerto Rico.
In 2021, Apple said it was "already in discussions with many more states" and hoped to offer the feature nationwide in the future.
It is unclear if Apple plans to expand the feature to other countries.
Participating Locations
Apple Wallet app IDs can be used at select TSA checkpoints within select U.S. airports:
- Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)
- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
- Denver International Airport (DEN)
- Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG)
- John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH)
Apple says travelers should refer to TSA checkpoint signage to confirm availability of the feature.
Apple's website says IDs in the Wallet app can also be used to show proof of age or identity at "select bars, concerts, festivals, and more," but adoption is limited.
