Ditch the Leather: Seven More States Join the Digital ID Revolution in Apple Wallet
Apple is expanding its digital ID initiative, with seven additional states, including Kentucky and North Carolina, currently developing support for driver's licenses and state IDs within the Wallet app. Originally introduced at WWDC 2021, this feature allows users to present their identification at select TSA checkpoints and participating businesses using only their iPhone or Apple Watch. The move brings the tech giant closer to its long-term vision of eliminating the need for physical wallets by centralizing payment methods, keys, and official credentials in a secure, encrypted digital environment.
