Apple continues to expand Apple Wallet ID support across US states and territories, adding North Dakota as the latest after Montana joined last month.
The list of places that actually accept Apple Wallet’s digital ID rather than the physical ID can vary wildly, and some states, like Montana, still recommend users carry their physical IDs regardless.
Still, Apple notes that digital IDs can be used at TSA checkpoints in certain airports, and at select businesses and venues. But with the rollout moving slowly, and even states advising people to keep their physical IDs on hand, the feature still serves more as a convenience than a full replacement.
Be sure to check our comprehensive post on digital ID to learn more about the difference between the Apple Wallet solution, and the digital ID apps that multiple U.S. states have also been adopting.

I guess I’m a luddite…but I don’t want all my critical information on my phone.
Some states have their own digital ID app for the iPhone and some work well, so it is not that the iPhone does not have certain States digital ID, it is that Apple Wallet does not.
