How To Set Up Digital ID On iPhone

On March 23, 2022, Apple began rolling out the long-anticipated digital driver’s license feature. Some iPhone users can now set up a digital version of their driver’s license in the Wallet app. In this article, I’ll show you how to set up Digital ID on your iPhone!

Before You Can Set Up A Digital ID

Digital ID is supported on the iPhone 8 and newer models. Your iPhone also needs to be running iOS 15.4 or newer before you can set up your digital driver’s license or ID. Head to Settings -> General -> About and look next to Software Version to see which version of iOS your iPhone is running.

If your iPhone is running a version older than iOS 15.4, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update to check for an iOS update. Tap Download and Install or Install Now to install the latest version of iOS on your iPhone.
