Apple today announced that Arizona has become the first U.S. state to offer driver's license and state ID in the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch.
Starting today, Apple said Arizona residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Wallet app, and tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to seamlessly and securely present it at select TSA security checkpoints in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Apple said the feature is also available for use at select TSA checkpoints in select other states, with travelers advised to check TSA checkpoint signage to confirm availability.
Additional states will offer driver's license and state ID in the Wallet app soon, according to Apple, including Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Ohio, as well as the territory of Puerto Rico. Apple previously announced that Georgia, Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Utah also planned to offer the feature to residents.
"We look forward to working with many more states and the TSA to bring IDs in Wallet to users across the US," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. Apple has not said if it will expand the feature other countries in the future.
Driver's license and state ID in the Wallet app is available on the iPhone 8 or later running iOS 15.4, and on the Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watchOS 8.4 or later.
