iPhone Driver's Licenses May Soon Expand to Another US State

Driver's licenses and IDs may soon be available in Apple Wallet for iPhone and Apple Watch users living in Oklahoma. MacRumors discovered signs of an Oklahoma ID in Apple's backend.

With input from Apple, a House bill was passed in March 2026 that allows Service Oklahoma to issue mobile or digital versions of state identification cards, driver's licenses or permits – suggesting this is Apple taking preparatory steps for future Wallet integration.

The digital equivalents are not intended to replace physical licenses or state IDs, meaning Oklahomans will be required to keep the latter, while using the mobile version as a "companion option."

Other states planning to add support for driver's licenses in Apple Wallet include Connecticut, Kentucky, Mississippi, Utah, and Virginia. MacRumors already spotted signs of Utah and Virginia in Apple's backend.

Multiple states have already implemented support, as has Puerto Rico:

  • Arkansas
  • Arizona
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Georgia
  • Hawaii
  • Illinois
  • Iowa
  • Maryland
  • Montana
  • New Mexico
  • North Dakota
  • Ohio
  • West Virginia

Digital IDs and licenses are accepted at select TSA checkpoints across the United States. They can also be used at some business venues and in select apps that require ID verification for services or purchases.

In states that do not support licenses in the Wallet app, iPhone users can add their U.S. passport to the Apple Wallet app with the iOS 26 Digital ID feature.

Still have not found a use-case for this where it would make life easier.

PA will adopt it once they figure out how they can tax it.

This could be true. The one time I showed the clerk at the liquor store and they looked at me confused like they've never seen that before in their life, then I proceeded to pull out my real ID and never used the phone since.
I thnk they need to have a reader equipped to handle it. The process is much like using ApplePay.

Before someone says it, no you are not handing your phone over to law enforcement for this to work.

Same. I added mine because I thought it was neat, but never used it once. Lost it in a new phone upgrade and never thought about adding it again
