Access to Digital IDs and driver's licenses through Apple Wallet is coming to two more locations — and the total number of supported areas has increased to 10.
Apple iPhone users in two additional locations in the U.S. can now access digital driver’s licenses and state IDs through the Apple Wallet app. New Mexico and Puerto Rico residents can take advantage of this service, bringing the total number of supported locations to 10. Two more states are expected to offer this feature in the near future. A MacRumors reader was the first to notice the new support available in Puerto Rico.
Apple first announced digital IDs for the Apple Wallet in 2021. However, the adoption of this feature by U.S. states and territories has been slow. Before the approvals in New Mexico and Puerto Rico, digital IDs were accepted in Iowa, California, Ohio, and Hawaii. Other approved states include Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, and Georgia.
