Apple Wallet driver's licenses are set to roll out in three more states, bringing the total number of U.S. states supporting this feature to 20. Digital IDs have gained popularity since Apple introduced driver's license support in the Wallet app back in 2021. Currently, 16 U.S. states and Puerto Rico offer this feature on iPhones. The latest additions, Virginia and Oklahoma, joined just last month.
Evidence suggests that Utah is also joining the list, as Apple's backend for driver's license support was recently updated to include Utah in addition to Virginia. Kentucky announced plans to support Apple Wallet driver's licenses following an upgrade to its digital ID system this summer. It appears that these upgrades have been completed, and we can expect Kentucky's licenses to appear in the Wallet app soon.
North Carolina has also announced plans to launch its new digital driver's license system, with Apple Wallet support expected by early 2027. While other states might join the Wallet driver's license program before Utah, Kentucky, or North Carolina, these three states are currently the strongest candidates to debut soon.
