Apple Says iPhone Driver's Licenses Coming to These 8 U.S. States, But Rollout Remains Slow

Arizona (since March 2022)

Maryland (since May 2022)

Colorado (since November 2022)

Georgia (since May 2023)

Ohio (since July 2024)

Hawaii (since August 2024)

California (since September 2024)

Iowa (since October 2024)

New Mexico (since December 2024)The feature is also available in Puerto Rico.

Future States

Apple said the following states have 'signed on' to adopt the feature in the future:
