Drivers in Arkansas and Virginia will be able to add their driver's license to Apple Wallet — but it's not clear exactly when.

While both of these states already have digital driver's licenses, they're limited in one key way. Drivers must use dedicated apps to view them.

That will all change when Arkansas and Virginia allow those same licenses to be added to the Apple Wallet app. The licenses will then be available via the Wallet app on the driver's iPhone and Apple Watch.
