iPhone Driver's Licenses: These 17 U.S. States Offer Them or Will Later

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.

Unfortunately, this feature continues to roll out very slowly since it was announced in 2021, with only nine U.S. states and Puerto Rico offering it so far.

During its WWDC 2025 keynote last week, Apple reiterated that more states plan to offer the feature in the future, but it did not provide a timeframe.

Supported States

Apple Wallet ID Cards
The following states offer driver's licenses in the Wallet app:

The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Future States

Apple previously announced that the following states have signed on to adopt the feature:

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

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.

Apple Wallet IDs can also be used to show proof of age or identity at select businesses and venues in the U.S., but there is no list of locations.

Digital ID

In addition to driver's licenses and state IDs, iOS 26 introduces a new Digital ID, which can be created based on a U.S. passport. Apple says iPhone users can present this Digital ID in person at select TSA checkpoints for identity verification purposes during domestic travel within the U.S., but it is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel and border crossing in lieu of a U.S. passport.

Why does it take states so long to roll out something so uncomplicated?

I think the states DL is complicated, it's easy for different states to have different laws that impact this (though I share your disappointment).

What's really frustrating is that it isn't immediately available at ALL airports - which kinda limits its usefulness. Should be as simple as just buying the hardware and installing it everywhere (which, since it's a function of the Federal TSA should be possible). I know people may say "but the cost!" but perhaps we just do one less presidential golf day or drop one less bomb somewhere and then Americans can benefit from a more modern system!

In the meantime, Florida is trying their own app, most likely without success.
The whole point is to unify apps not to diversify.

Because it's not "uncomplicated".

The states need to build their own infrastructure to support this feature. Law enforcement and establishments need a special reader in order to read the digital ID. Training and public education needs to happen. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. It's not like they can just flip a switch to enable this.

You actually believe all that? It’s just the gov trying to hold progress back
You must have a vastly different definition of progress than I do.
