Now Hawaiʻi residents have the option to add their driver’s license (DL) or identification card (ID) to Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch. So, they can present it easily and securely in person and in app.

ID in Apple Wallet provides an easy, private, and secure way for Hawaiʻi residents to present their Hawaiʻi-issued ID in person at businesses and organizations with compliant mobile ID readers and in select apps that require identity or age verification. ID in Apple Wallet can be used at select TSA airport security checkpoints, including Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) on Oahu. Please visit TSA.gov for the most up to date support.

Additionally, ID in Apple Wallet offers security and privacy benefits because Hawaiʻi residents get to review the personal information they share with others and use authentication with Face ID or Touch ID to authorize the release of it.

To add your Driver’s license or ID to your iPhone and Apple Watch:

On your iPhone, open the Apple Wallet app.

• Tap the Add (+) button.
• Tap Driver’s License or State ID and choose Hawaiʻi.
• Choose whether you want to add it to your iPhone only or to both your iPhone and paired Apple Watch.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to scan the front and back of your driver’s license or state-issued ID.

Once completed, your request to add your Hawaiʻi DL or ID to Apple Wallet might either be approved, declined or you may have a Verification Code mailed to your address on file. You will need to enter this code in Apple Wallet in order to complete verification.

ID in Apple Wallet takes full advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch and also offers increased security and privacy benefits a physical ID card can’t match. Unlike physical ID cards, Hawaiʻi-issued IDs and driver’s licenses in Wallet present only the information needed for the interaction, and the user has the opportunity to review and authorize the information being requested before it is shared. Additionally, driver’s licenses and Hawaiʻi-issued IDs in Wallet are only presented digitally through encrypted communication directly between the device and the identity reader, so users do not need to show or hand over their device. Biometric authentication using Face ID and Touch ID also ensures that only the person who added the ID to the device can view or present their ID or license in Wallet.
