Hawaii has now joined as the seventh state to approve the use of driver's licenses and state IDs stored on the iPhone and Apple Watch through the Apple Wallet app.
In 2020, Apple revealed its intention to let iPhone users store their passports, driver's licenses, and state IDs on their devices. Four years later, only a select few states have embraced this feature, though it seems to be gaining traction.
Hawaii is now the seventh state to do so, following California's gradual rollout that began in mid-August, and Ohio's implementation that took place in July.
It appears that Apple is rolling out the feature slowly in the Aloha State. As first spotted by 9to5Mac, users who want to add their identification cards to Wallet will need to join a waitlist.
The first state, Arizona, adopted it in March 2022. Other states that support the feature include Colorado, Maryland, and Georgia.
Users who reside in one of the seven states that allow it can open the Wallet, tap the + sign, and then choose Driver's License or State ID.

Except can you really add California? California has a CA DMV Wallet app that lets you add your Driver's License/ID to it, however when I go to the Apple Wallet and try to add a Driver's License the only states I see are Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, and Ohio. California is not a choice. I'd be interested to know if anyone has been able to add a California Driver's License or ID to the Apple Wallet. Or is "coming soon" and not really there yet?
From what it appears, CA DL is still “coming soon” to Apple Wallet. However, according to the DMVs FAQ, it is now live on Google Wallet, so it must be right around the corner for AW.
