Iowa rolls out support for digital IDs in Wallet app

Those living in the Hawkeye State can now add their driver's license or state ID to Apple Wallet for use at TSA checkpoints, venues, and businesses.

On Wednesday, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that state residents could now add their state identification cards to their iPhone via the wallet app. The move makes the state the latest to join Apple's ID program.

Iowa DOT also points out that businesses can accept digital IDs via iOS apps like Tap2iD Mobile, VeriScan, and Mobile ID Verify.

In September, California became the eighth state to begin rolling out support for IDs in the Wallet app.

The first state, however, was Arizona, adding in support all the way back in May of 2022.

Maryland also joined up in May 2022. Colorado signed on to the program in November 2022.

Georgia followed suit in May 2023, allowing those living The Peach State to add their IDs to the app. In July 2024, Ohio became the fifth state to support IDs in the Apple Wallet app.

Hawaii is currently in the process of rolling out support for digital IDs, a process that began in August 2024.

AppleInsider and many state Departments of Transportation would like to remind you that a digital ID does not replace your physical license or identification card. Many locations will still require you to present a physical ID card, so it's wise to still carry it whenever you can.
