Apple Wallet driver’s license is coming to new US state soon

“Apple Wallet’s digital driver’s license program is expanding as North Carolina announces a rollout of mobile IDs later this year, initially via the state’s NC Wallet app with Apple Wallet integration slated for early 2027. The state is also recruiting participants for feedback sessions, offering a $50 digital gift card. This move follows similar efforts in Utah, Virginia, and Oklahoma, signaling broader adoption of digital IDs across the U.S. Expert Analysis: The early 2027 Apple Wallet support positions North Carolina as a testbed for nationwide digital ID standards, potentially accelerating regulatory harmonization and reducing reliance on physical cards. As more states adopt Wallet IDs, consumer convenience rises while law‑enforcement and privacy frameworks will need rapid adaptation.”
