Summary
Kentucky is set to add its Idemia-backed mobile driver’s license to Apple Wallet this summer, while North Carolina plans a December 2026 mDL launch before extending support to Apple, Google and Samsung wallets in early 2027.
15 states and territories already support digital IDs in Apple Wallet, so Kentucky would bring the total to 16 and North Carolina to 17 if timelines hold.
Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia are also working on rollouts, while Connecticut and Mississippi have been linked to potential programs and several other states remain in legislative or pilot stages.
2030 now looks like the rough target for broad U.S. coverage as digital ID adoption advances slowly through fragmented state DMV systems and regulatory hurdles.
