Add your driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet

To prove that you’re really you, you’re prompted to complete a series of head or facial movements. For example, you might be asked to smile or turn your head to the right. After the movements, you take a selfie.

To help this process:

• Stand in front of a plain background, like a wall with neutral paint.
• Make sure that you’re in a well-lit area with even lighting. Indoors works best.
• Take off any sunglasses, masks, hats, or other accessories.
• Hold your iPhone as steady as possible.
• Hold each movement until your iPhone vibrates.
• If you can’t complete a movement, just tap Try a Different Movement.

When you’re ready to send your information to your state issuing authority, authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID.

This authentication associates your license or ID with your face or fingerprint to help make sure that only you can use your license or ID.

If you use an accessibility feature, instead of having Face ID or Touch ID turned on, you can use your passcode to set up and then use your license or ID. Accessibility features include Voice Control, Switch Control, or AssistiveTouch.

In some cases, your state issuing authority might require additional information. If you receive a notification, tap it to go to their website. Follow the onscreen instructions to provide the additional information.
