Ohio driver’s licenses and IDs can now be added to Apple Wallet

Written on Aug 9, 2024

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted announced that Ohioans can now add their Ohio-issued driver’s license or state identification card to Apple Wallet for use in person at select businesses, in select apps, and at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints, including at John Glenn Columbus International Airport and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. 

Ohio also launched a free age verification app for businesses, enabling them to securely and privately accept customers’ mobile driver's licenses and ID cards in person using an iPhone. 

InnovateOhio and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) collaborated with Apple to give Ohioans the option to add their mobile driver’s licenses and identification cards to Apple Wallet, which provides a secure and private way for residents to add and present their IDs on iPhone and Apple Watch.
