Apple has announced that its Wallet app will soon allow residents of four more U.S. states to add their driver's license or state ID to the feature. According to new information found in Apple's code, the expansion will include North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia. North Carolina's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has recently announced plans to launch a digital ID program through a new NC Wallet app, which will support Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet.
While Apple Wallet IDs are not accepted by law enforcement and at many businesses, a physical ID is still recommended. Apple Wallet IDs are currently available in 15 states, including Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Hawaii, California, Iowa, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, Illinois, and Arkansas. They are also accepted at TSA checkpoints in over 250 U.S. airports for domestic travel.
To set up the feature, users can open the Wallet app on their iPhone and tap the plus sign in the top-right corner, then select Driver's License and ID Cards and their state from the list.
