Iowa begins accepting digital IDs in Apple’s Wallet app

If you live in the hawkeye state, this could come in handy.

Iowa residents can now att their 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 announced that residents could now add their state ID cards to their iPhones through the Wallet app. The department also pointed 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. Arizona had been the first state and added support in May 2022.

Albeit useful, a digital ID doesn’t replace carrying a physical license or identification card, as many locations will still require you to present a physical ID card.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
