Ohio residents can now add their state IDs and driver’s licenses to the iPhone’s Wallet app. Ohio is the fifth US state to support this feature.
First announced in September 2021, Apple revealed an ambitious plan to make its Wallet app the main wallet for every user. The company wanted every US state to add support for this technology so people could keep their physical IDs at home.
However, almost three years have passed, and adoption has been slow. In March 2022, Arizona was the first state to add support, followed by Maryland in May, Colorado in November, and Georgia in May 2023.
Since then, no other US state has added support for driver’s licenses in the Apple Wallet app. Ohio seems to be breaking that streak. First spotted by X user Henry Molski (via Appleosophy), Apple now offers Ohio residents the ability to add a driver’s license in the iPhone’s Wallet app.
