In the age of digital wallets and contactless convenience, a growing number of states are embracing the option to add driver’s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet. 

These digital IDs can be added to iPhone users’ Wallet app alongside digital credit cards, boarding passes and event tickets.

New Jersey, though, isn’t one of them.

What states have Apple Wallet IDs?

As of now, several states have partnered with Apple to enable digital IDs. They can be added directly to Apple Wallet and used in airports, businesses, or government offices.

For instance, TSA checkpoints at several airports, including LaGuardia, JFK and Newark Liberty, already take digital IDs, and more are being added.

But, New Jersey doesn’t yet have digital driver’s licenses.

In early 2024, state lawmakers moved a bill directing the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission to develop digital driver’s licenses. But that measure gives the state six years to make it happen. The bill is winding its way through the legislative process.

Apple, though, continues to expand partnerships with more states to create Wallet-compatible IDs. 

Connecticut, for example, was one of the first states to announce a digital ID rollout but hasn’t yet launched it. Lawmakers in West Virginia, New Mexico and Montana have said digital driver’s licenses are a priority.
