When Can You Add Driver's License to Apple Wallet
Driver's licenses and state IDs for Apple Wallet were first announced at the 2021 WWDC and detailed in an Apple press release. As of this writing, no date has been set for the program's launch, but with eight states already signed onto the project, Apple hopes to offer this feature nationwide in the future. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is onboard to start accepting mobile driver's licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet at participating airports, and Apple says, "Participating states and the TSA will share more information at a later date about when support for mobile driver’s licenses and state IDs in Wallet will be available in each state, and which TSA airport security checkpoints and select lanes it will be available at first."

Once this feature is available in your state, you'll be able to add your driver's license or state ID to Apple Wallet the same as you would add a new credit or debit card. To learn about more ways to use your Apple Wallet app, sign up for our Tip of the Day newsletter.

To present your driver's license or state ID, you'll open your Apple Wallet as usual. Apple will show you a brief explanation of the information Wallet will share with TSA (or other participating agencies and organizations in the future), and you can confirm that you'd like to present that information by double-clicking the Side button.
