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.

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.

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

Anecdotally, I have found that the general public has slowly become aware that this is a real thing.

I wouldn't (and hope not to have to) try it with law enforcement, but for simple age verification at grocery stores and such, people finally seem to recognize it and accept it.

It's just like Apple Pay at first, I had so many people so confused at what happened, but register says OK so they didn't have to know what it is. Now I see people use it and nobody bats an eye.

The way it's currently set up where you have to go in and display card information is clunky and could be better, but at least people seem to understand that it's not just a simple picture.

It would be nice if Apple could somehow integrate age verification into the Apple Pay process so one tap covers everything.

Of course that might lead to a lot of unintended consequences. But those seem to be coming anyway.
