In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, providing a convenient and contactless way to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps.

Below, we outline which U.S. states and territories offer the feature, and additional states that have committed to rolling it out in the future. 2025 just began, and many of the states listed below will likely roll out the feature throughout the year.

The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Future States

Apple said the following states have "signed on" to adopt the feature in the future:

  • Montana
  • West Virginia
  • Connecticut
  • Kentucky
  • Mississippi
  • Oklahoma
  • Utah

The feature will also work with Japan's My Number Card in the future, according to Apple.

Participating Airports

Apple Wallet ID TSA
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)
  • San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
  • San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC)
  • Los Angeles International (LAX)
  • Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
  • Des Moines International Airport (DSM)
  • Eastern Iowa Airport (CID)
  • Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ)
  • Lea County Regional Airport (HOB)
  • Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU)

Apple says travelers should refer to TSA checkpoint signage to confirm availability of the feature, and the TSA's website offers more details.

In addition to participating TSA checkpoints, Apple in September announced that users would soon be able to present an Apple Wallet ID for CLEAR member enrollment at airports. Apple Wallet IDs can also be used to show proof of age or identity at select businesses and venues in the U.S., although Apple does not maintain a list of specific locations for this.

This way, when you get pulled over, you’re going to hand your unlocked phone to the police when asked for your license and registration. Not sure many lawyers think that’s a great idea.
That's not how this works - it works like Apple Pay where you tap the device on a reader and the license info is transferred across. You don't unlock or hand the device over. The reason the roll-out is so slow is likely because the states have to provide suitable readers to all their officers / TSA points.

Coming to Illinois starting 1/1/2025 BUT NOT to Apple Wallet. You will need to download a special app to download your digital license. In addition there’s a gotcha in the law that allows police to request the physical license which means you still have to carry your physical drivers license. Why even have a digital license then?

I agree it is a bad idea, but that is not what this is for. It is for identify verification at some TSA checkpoints at a handful of airports and for age verification at a handful of businesses. It is not a substitute for a physical ID card. Since I always travel with an ID anyway (my DL and passport card) and pack my phone in my carry on before getting to security, this digital ID is pretty useless to me at the airport. It would be helpful at the pharmacy, though, for picking up prescriptions that require ID since I already use my phone/watch to pay.
