Iowa latest state to adopt Apple Wallet digital driver’s licenses

Apple is steadily adding more states to its list of compatible Apple Wallet digital ID partners. The latest to join is Iowa, joining seven other states that support driver’s licenses via iPhone and Apple Watch.

The Iowa Department of Transportation announced the news in a press release today:

Iowans will now have the option to securely add their Iowa driver’s license or ID to Apple Wallet on their iPhone and Apple Watch. Today, users can present their ID in Apple Wallet in person at select TSA checkpoints, including the Des Moines and Eastern Iowa Airports, businesses and venues, in addition to Apple Store locations across the U.S. Users are also able to present their IDs in Wallet in select apps as well.

Businesses and organizations are able to accept ID in Apple Wallet using iOS apps such as Tap2iD Mobile, VeriScan, and Mobile ID Verify, for in-person age verification. These apps leverage Apple’s ID Verifier API to securely and privately accept mobile driver’s licenses and ID cards — right on iPhone, no additional hardware is needed.

The feature is already live in the Wallet app as well. States supported so far include Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, and Ohio.
