Apple has expanded its Apple Wallet ID support to Montana, making it the eleventh state to offer this feature. Montana residents can now add their state-issued IDs to the Wallet app on their iPhones, providing a digital alternative to physical identification.
According to Apple, digital IDs in Wallet can be used at select TSA checkpoints in numerous airports across the United States. These digital IDs are also accepted at participating businesses and venues, though acceptance may vary. As with other states that support this feature, Montana requires residents to continue carrying their physical ID cards alongside their digital versions.
Currently, the following states and territories support IDs in Apple Wallet: Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, and Puerto Rico. Apple has indicated that further expansion is planned, with Connecticut, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Utah committed to implementing the feature in the future. Arkansas and West Virginia are also expected to add support soon.
The Apple Wallet app is slated for significant upgrades in iOS 26, anticipated for release next fall. A key enhancement is the improved boarding pass functionality, which will include detailed Live Activities, airport maps, and integration with luggage tracking using AirTags and the Find My app. In addition, US users will be able to store their passports in the Wallet app for use at select TSA checkpoints, within apps, and in person.
iOS 26 will bring upgrades to order tracking within Apple Wallet, simplifying the process of viewing saved credit card details. Apple Pay will be updated with additional features, and users will gain more control over notification settings, including the ability to disable promotional notifications.
