WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2025 – West Virginia joined a growing list of states adopting digital IDs.

Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) announced Thursday that residents could now add their driver’s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet, allowing identity verification through an iPhone or Apple Watch.

In partnership with the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles, the program enabled residents to present digital IDs at more than 250 TSA checkpoints nationwide, including Charleston Yeager and Huntington Tri-State airports. State officials said they planned to expand acceptance to additional state institutions and retailers.
