Virginia Joins 15th State for Apple Wallet Digital Driver’s License

Virginia residents can now add their driver’s licenses to the Apple Wallet app, making it the 15th U.S. state to support this feature. The digital ID works on iPhone and Apple Watch for identity verification at over 250 U.S. airports and select businesses. Setup requires scanning the physical license and verifying identity. While convenient for travel, the digital ID is not accepted by law enforcement for traffic stops, and physical IDs remain legally required in many contexts. Apple is preparing to expand the feature to North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Utah in the coming months.
