New Mexico Supports Digital IDs in Apple Wallet

New Mexico Now Supports Digital IDs in Apple Wallet

Apple continues expanding its digital ID program, with New Mexico becoming the latest state to support driver's licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet. Residents can now add their IDs to their iPhone and Apple Watch for use at select TSA checkpoints and participating merchants. To add your ID, open Apple Wallet, tap the plus sign, and follow the on-screen instructions. iOS 18.2 offers practical enhancements that complement this feature.

While adoption has been slow, the addition of California and now New Mexico signals growing momentum for digital IDs. However, availability at TSA checkpoints and businesses remains limited. Check signage or the 9to5Mac Happy Hour for tech support for more information. For those interested in related accessories, consider exploring the best iPhone magnetic wireless chargers.
