Is it possible to add your driver’s license to your iPhone’s Apple Wallet? Technically, the answer is yes.
Apple Wallet is incredibly convenient for so many reasons. Primarily, it’s a convenient way for iPhone users to store credit cards and debit cards on their devices so that they can use their mobile phones to pay at stores that accept digital modes of payment. It’s also a great way of keeping all your loyalty and rewards cards in one place so you can scan whichever one you need without having to bring every single physical card with you. Furthermore, you can securely store transit cards, event tickets, boarding passes, and the like, eliminating the need to handle printouts and paper products that may get lost.
Given that you can make purchases in person and travel by presenting your mobile boarding pass through Apple Wallet on an iPhone, is it possible to add your driver’s license to it as well? Technically, the answer is yes, but there are currently some limitations to the feature.You’d have to reside in these U.S. states to do it
To add your driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet on your iPhone, several things need to be true. The most important criterion is that you need to be from a state that currently supports the use of digital IDs in Apple Wallet. As of this writing, the list is limited to Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland, with more to come later.
Provided you are currently within these states and have the necessary local ID, you can use the iPhone’s Wallet app to show a digital version of it as proof of your age and identity at select establishments. You may even be able to travel by air and present it at select TSA checkpoints, namely within Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Denver International Airport (DEN), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
