Apple Wallet driver’s licenses coming to these states next

“Apple is expanding its Apple Wallet driver’s license feature to additional U.S. states, moving the nation closer to a fully digital wallet experience. Seven states—Kentucky, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, Connecticut, and Mississippi—have confirmed work on integration, with Kentucky slated for a summer 2026 launch and North Carolina early 2027. Meanwhile, the Secure Technology Alliance notes that Indiana, Vermont, New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, and Wyoming are exploring mobile ID legislation but have not been referenced by Apple. Existing support already covers 14 states and Puerto Rico, and Apple’s newer Digital ID powered by U.S. passports enables iPhone use at TSA checkpoints in over 250 airports. Expert Analysis: The staggered rollout underscores the fragmented regulatory landscape across states, forcing Apple to negotiate a patchwork of agreements. As more jurisdictions adopt digital IDs, consumers may experience reduced reliance on physical cards, while law‑enforcement and retail verification processes will need to adapt to new authentication standards.”
