GoKawiilFlorida, Rhode Island officials rule out Apple Wallet driver's licenses
Florida and Rhode Island have indicated they have no near-term plans to support Apple Wallet digital driver's licenses, even as more US states roll out the feature. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly opposed digital IDs, citing risk of government abuse, after the state discontinued an earlier digital ID program in 2024. In Rhode Island, AAMVA board chair Walter Craddock said he's waiting for broader demand and more places that accept mobile licenses before investing in the technology.
