🤖 AI Summary
Apple Walletの運転手用証明書機能が北カロライナ州、オクラホマ州、ユタ州、バージニア州に拡大し、合計18州（プエルトリコを含む）で利用できるようになります。この機能は参加する TSA チェックポイントや一部のビジネスではiPhoneを解除することなく表示でき、プライバシー保護にも役立ちます。しかし、現行では物理的な証明書も持つことが推奨されています。
NC DMVによると、12月から新しいNC Walletアプリを使ってデジタルIDを作成できるようになり、その後2027年初頭までにApple Wallet、Google Wallet、Samsung Walletのサポートが追加されます。また、オクラホマ州、ユタ州、バージニア州でも同機能が導入される予定ですが、具体的なスケジュールは未定です。
このデジタルIDは法執行機関では受け入れられず、交通停止時などには物理的な証明書を携帯することも必要です。ビジネスでの利用はまだ限定的で、デジタルIDの導入に時間がかかる可能性があります。
Apple Wallet's driver's license and state ID feature is set to expand to North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia, bringing the total to 18 states plus Puerto Rico. The digital IDs can be used at participating TSA checkpoints and businesses without handing over or unlocking an iPhone, though users are still generally advised to carry a physical ID because acceptance remains limited. MacRumors reports: A few days ago, North Carolina's DMV announced that it plans to launch a mobile ID program later this year. As reported by WRAL, North Carolina residents will be able to set up a digital ID through a new NC Wallet app starting in December, with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet support to follow in "early 2027." As mentioned, you do not need to unlock, show, or hand over your device to present an Apple Wallet ID in person, ensuring user privacy.
Apple Wallet IDs are generally not accepted by law enforcement, so carrying a physical ID is still legally required for traffic stops. In addition, the number of businesses that accept Apple Wallet IDs is still quite small. At least for now, Apple Wallet IDs are designed to be a convenient alternative where they are accepted. "Your mobile ID is a valid form of identification in North Carolina," the DMV said, in a FAQ on its website. "However, as retailers, restaurants and other businesses transition to mobile IDs, some may not be set up to accept them right away. For now, carrying your physical card gives you a backup when needed." According to code seen by MacRumors, Apple Wallet IDs are also coming to Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia, but there is no timeframe for availability.
