Overview
- Reports from MacRumors and 9to5Mac show Apple backend assets that indicate Oklahoma is likely to be the next U.S. jurisdiction to add driver’s licenses to Apple Wallet.
- Oklahoma’s state law passed earlier this year authorizes Service Oklahoma to issue mobile or digital versions of IDs and was developed with input from Apple, according to reporting.
- The digital IDs would be companion credentials rather than replacements for physical cards, so residents are expected to keep their paper or plastic licenses when using the Wallet option.
- Acceptance of Wallet IDs remains limited in practice, with verified use at select TSA checkpoints, some businesses, and certain verification apps rather than universal acceptance.
- Apple began the Wallet ID program in 2021 and 14 states plus Puerto Rico already support the feature, while other states such as Utah, Virginia, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Mississippi are reported to be planning or testing support; iOS 26 also lets users add a U.S. passport to Wallet where state support is not available.
