In nine U.S. states and Puerto Rico, residents can add their driver’s license or state-provided ID to the Wallet app on their iPhone and Apple Watch. The program offers a convenient, contactless method of displaying proof of identity and age at select businesses and airports and in select apps.
As first noted by MacRumors, seven additional states will begin offering the program to their citizens, sometime in the near future.
Participating States
- Arizona
- Maryland
- Colorado
- Georgia
- Ohio
- Hawaii
- California
- Iowa
- New Mexico
The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.
Future States
According to Apple, the following states are planning to adopt the feature in the near future:
- Montana
- West Virginia
- Connecticut
- Kentucky
- Mississippi
- Oklahoma
- Utah
The feature will also work with Japan’s My Number Card in the future. 100 million plus Japanese residents currently have My Number Card IDs, allowing them to receive services at over 60,000 convenience stores around the country, through online portals, and in other settings such as hospitals and government agencies.
