At WWDC 2021, Apple announced support for adding driver\u2019s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet. Since then, over a dozen states<\/a> in the United States have rolled out support for the platform.<\/p>\n

As that number continues to grow, here\u2019s where driver\u2019s licenses and state IDs could come next \u2026 <\/p>\n

Apple says digital IDs are coming to these states next<\/p>\n

Here are the seven states officially on board to support Apple Wallet digital IDs:<\/p>\n

Other than Kentucky, there is no timeline on when these states will actually roll out support for the feature.<\/p>\n

Other states exploring support<\/p>\n

Beyond those, a number of states across the US are also broadly exploring digital IDs and driver\u2019s licenses. This data is aggregated by the\u00a0Secure Technology Alliance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following states and regions have enacted legislation and\/or study activity on digital driver\u2019s licenses:<\/p>\n

Oklahoma<\/p>\n

Missouri<\/p>\n

Indiana<\/p>\n

Tennessee<\/p>\n

Florida<\/p>\n

South Carolina<\/p>\n

New Jersey<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Vermont<\/p>\n

Connecticut<\/p>\n

The progress of these efforts varies significantly from state to state. In some states, it\u2019s as simple as introducing legislation to support digital IDs. In other states, there\u2019s been some level of activity related to this adoption. However, delays are inevitable whenever Apple collaborates with individual governments on a state-by-state basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following states offer some form of proprietary digital ID platforms, but are are actively working on interoperability:<\/p>\n

Mississippi<\/p>\n

North Carolina<\/p>\n

Delaware<\/p>\n

Kentucky<\/p>\n

Other states not mentioned here do not currently have any digital ID and driver\u2019s license initiatives in the works.<\/p>\n

Wrap up<\/p>\n

Additionally, Apple launched a new solution in iOS 26.1 that lets anyone with a passport create a digital ID, regardless of whether or not their state supports the feature.<\/p>\n
