Apple Wallet is expanding its ID storage program in the U.S.

The Apple Wallet will support digital driver’s license and state ID storage starting in 2022, but the feature is currently only available in ten regions. Now it’s been revealed which three states in the US could be next on the list.

Which states will Apple Wallet accept digital IDs?”

According to recent reports, Arkansas, Montana, and West Virginia will soon get support for digital IDs in Apple Wallet. That’s based on Google’s announcement: these are the three states that have been announced as new states for digital IDs in Google Wallet.

According to Google’s announcement, Arkansas, Montana, and West Virginia will soon support digital IDs in Apple Wallet.

Although Google Wallet only supports IDs from six states so far, all of them are also available in Apple Wallet. Typically, the introduction of digital IDs in the two ecosystems happens simultaneously to provide convenience to both iOS and Android users. So it’s highly likely that Apple can be expected to update its list of supported regions in a similar fashion.

So, it’s a good bet that Apple will update its list of supported regions as well.

How many states already support digital credentials?”

If the information holds true, the total number of states supporting digital IDs in Apple Wallet will rise to 13. While it’s still a long way from full coverage of all 50 states, the positive momentum is there. The acceleration is likely due to the requirements of the federal REAL ID program, which encourages digitalization of documents.
