Arkansas has joined the slowly-growing list of US states that allow their citizens to add their driver\u2019s license or state ID<\/a> to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch. It is the 14th state to offer the feature.<\/p>\n

Starting today, Arkansas residents can add a license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app by opening it, tapping on the \u201c+\u201d button, selecting \u201cDriver\u2019s License and ID Cards\u201d and following the onscreen instructions. The feature requires an iPhone 8 or later running iOS 16.5 or later, or an Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watchOS 9.5 or later.<\/p>\n

Apple added support for digital IDs back in 2022, but since the feature requires states to implement support, the rollout has been rather slow. In 2021, Apple said that it was in \u201cdiscussions with many more states\u201d and was optimistic that Wallet IDs would be available nationwide in the future.<\/p>\n

Participating States<\/p>\n

The following states offer driver\u2019s licenses in the Wallet app:<\/p>\n

Arizona
\nMaryland
\nColorado
\nGeorgia
\nOhio
\nHawaii
\nCalifornia
\nIowa
\nNew Mexico
\nMontana
\nNorth Dakota
\nWest Virginia
\nIllinois
\nArkansas<\/p>\n

The feature is also available in\u00a0Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

Future States<\/p>\n

According to Apple, the following states are planning to adopt the feature in the near future:<\/p>\n

Connecticut
\nKentucky
\nMississippi
\nOklahoma
\nUtah
\nVirginia<\/p>\n

The feature will also work with Japan\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
