Apple Wallet IDs: How to add your license (and where it actually works)
Macworld Apple added the capability to add digital state IDs or drivers licenses to Apple Wallet years ago, with the very first supporting states announced back in 2021 . Its a standards-based approach ( ISO 18013-5 ) that is meant to be more secure and private than physical identification, as well as finally closing one of the last loopholes that make people unable to leave the house without their wallet. If your state doesnt support drivers licenses in Wallet (or you dont have a drivers license), but you have an active passport, you can now add a Digital ID to your Apple Wallet . Updated August 26, 2026: Your Virginia Mobile ID can now be added to Apple Wallet. Add your drivers license or ID to Apple Wallet Adding your drivers license or ID to Apple Wallet is simple, just follow these steps: Open Wallet Tap the Add (+) button in the upper-right corner. Tap Drivers License or State ID and select your state. Now follow the on-screen instructions: First youll be asked if you want to add your ID to just your iPhone or your Apple Watch as well if you have a paired Apple Watch. Next you will be asked to take photos of your current ID, likely the front and back. You will then need to take some matching images of yourself. The phone will direct you to be in a well-lit area with a plain dark background and put your head in the frame. Then youll turn your head or make facial expressions (closing your eyes, opening your mouth) as directed by your phone. This information will be used to help match your appearance with your photo on record with the state. Think of it like a human making sure you look like the photo on your ID. Foundry States that support Apple Wallet ID This is the current status of which states support Apple Wallet ID and which may be coming soon. States that support Apple Wallet ID States that have announced future support Arizona Connecticut Arkansas Kentucky California Mississippi Colorado Oklahoma Georgia Utah Hawaii Illinois Iowa Maryland Montana New Mexico North Dakota Ohio Puerto Rico Virginia West Virginia Will the U.K. support Apple Wallet drivers licenses? The U.K. government has announced plans to launch a GOV.UK Wallet and App in which licenced drivers will be able to store a digital copy of their drivers licence. The new app is coming this summer and the ability to store digital drivers licences, later in 2025. The digital drivers licence will be piloted later in 2025, with plans to offer a digital alternative, alongside paper or card credentials, by the end of 2027. More here: U.K. iPhone users will soon be able to store digital licenses and IDs . Why add ID to Apple Wallet? Your ID in Apple Wallet is more secure than carrying around a physical card that could be lost or could reveal personal information to someone you may not wish to have it. Digital IDs in Apple Wallet do not display any personal information other than your name. If you tap the (i) button to get more info, and then tap Drivers License Info , your iPhone requires a Face ID or Touch ID login to see things like your address, date of birth, height, eye color, ID number, and so on. The transaction starts over NFC and negotiates a secure Bluetooth LE sessionno barcodes. So, you never have to hand your phone over to a police officer, TSA agent, or anyone else, and even if you do, they cant get your personal info without your authentication. Using your digital ID works a lot like Apple Pay. You hold your iPhone near the reader (which may be another iPhone), and a screen will pop up saying exactly which information youre going to share. Double-tap the side button to approve it, just like approving a payment. Currently, police agencies do not accept digital IDs as drivers licenses, so youll have to carry your physical card with you when you drive. Rather, the feature works at select TSA checkpoints ( see a map here ) and participating businesses or age-restricted venues. Whats more, apps that require age identification (like renting a car or ordering alcohol) can use the info stored in Wallet to provide proof of age. Whats nice about digital IDs is that they can transfer only the information needed, and nothing more. A bouncer who wants to check ID at the entrance to a venue would have a reader that shows your ID photo and simply confirms if youre over 21, for examplethey wouldnt get your actual date of birth, ID number, address, or any other info they dont need. The same goes for apps that need age verification. With the Apple Wallet implementation, nothing is transferred without your authentication, so not only do you not have to hand your phone over to anyone else, it wouldnt even help to do so. Why cant I add my drivers license? If you are in the U.S. it may be that your state doesnt yet support the feature. If your State is in the list above and you cant add your license it may be because of an Apple Server outage ( check that here ). If thats not the issue then Apple recommends contacting your issuing authority. If you are outside the U.S. its bad news. The ability to add ID and drivers licenses is likely unavailable where you are. Its not for Apple to implement the feature, but rather a decision on a country level. The U.K. government has announced plans for a digital version of the Driving Licence and other countries are likely to do the same.

India's SpaceX Reloading After Historic Debut: Skyroot Sends Second Vikram-1 Stage To Sriharikota
Just over five weeks after making Indian space history, Skyroot Aerospace is going again. The first stage of its second Vikram-1 rocket is already heading to Sriharikota, where it will undergo integration, testing and final launch preparations. On July 18, Vikram-1 became the first privately developed Indian orbital rocket to successfully reach orbit from Indian soiland succeeded on its maiden attempt. It deployed SCOPE and Grahaa into Low Earth Orbit, putting Skyroot among a tiny group of private launch companies globally to achieve orbital flight. Now comes the harder test: repetition. Skyroot wants its Hyderabad manufacturing facilities eventually producing one orbital rocket every month. A successful second flight would show customers that Mission Aagaman was not merely historyit could become a reliable commercial launch service. India has proved private industry can reach orbit. Now it must prove it can keep going back. Shreya Chandra has more

ISRO, private industry writing India's next space chapter: Jitendra Singh
New Delhi, Aug 24: The BJP on Monday hit back at Congress over its charge that the Modi government is pursuing an aggressive privatisation agenda in the space sector, asserting that the expansion of private participation is enabling ISRO to focus on frontier missions while industry scales up manufacturing and launch capabilities. The remarks came after Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh accused the government of strangulating and emasculating the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and pursuing an aggressive privatisation agenda for the space programme just as it has for nuclear energy. Ramesh claimed recent reports about ISRO's future role in India's space programme raised legitimate concerns, given the capabilities built by the organisation over six decades. MoS (Space) Jitendra Singh rejected Ramesh's criticism, saying India's space programme is ot being scaled back, but being scaled up, with ISRO focusing increasingly on frontier missions such as Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan-4 and the Bharatiya Antariksh Station, as well as future missions to the Moon, Venus and Mars. Under PM Narendra Modi, India's space sector has taken a global trajectory by expanding from a predominantly government-led programme into a wholesome ecosystem integrating ISRO, industry and space startups. India's space programme is not being scaled back. It is being scaled up, he said in a post on X. At the same time, as India moves towards an ambition of 50 launches a year, industry has to become the manufacturer at scale, while ISRO develops the next generation of technologies and missions. This is the natural evolution of India's space programme, Singh added. He accused Ramesh of unning down Indian achievements and casting doubt on every step forward. Citing the growth of the space sector and the emergence of private players, Singh said the number of foreign satellites launched by ISRO has risen from 35 before 2014 to 430 today, while the number of space startups has grown to around 440 from just a handful in 2014. He cited Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 reaching orbit on July 18 this year as the first privately developed Indian rocket to do so. If India is to build a USD 44-billion space economy, we need many things happening simultaneously: ISRO research in the frontier technologies, private rocket factories, satellite manufacturing facilities, dedicated assembly, integration and testing infrastructure, commercially operated launch facilities, and a much deeper supply chain, Singh said. He noted that Sriharikota will remain at the heart of ISRO's major launch programmes, including PSLV, LVM3 and human spaceflight, while Kulasekarapattinam will add capacity for the growing small-launch sector. That is not ISRO versus industry. The model is ISRO and industry together. Together, they are writing the next chapter of India's space story, Singh said. BJP national spokesperson and national media co-in-charge Pradeep Bhandari also defended the government's space sector reforms, saying the opening up of the sector has enabled private companies and startups to move from being suppliers to developers of rockets, satellites and complete space systems. From a largely government-driven programme to an emerging national space ecosystem. That is not the weakening of ISRO's legacy. It is the expansion of India's space ambition, Bhandari said in a post on X. He said private investment in the sector had risen from USD 100.5 million in 2021-22 to USD 618.5 million by March 2026, while NewSpace India Limited's revenue had increased from Rs 321.77 crore in 2021-22 to around Rs 3,000 crore in 2024-25. Bhandari cited Chandrayaan-3's soft landing near the Moon's south polar region and the development of LVM3 and SSLV as milestones in India's space programme. ISRO gave India a formidable technological foundation over decades. The Modi government's reforms have sought to build on that legacy by enabling ISRO, private industry, startups and investment to grow together, he said. Jairam ji, I understand your frustration with India's remarkable journey in space. But the numbers tell a story that is difficult to ignore, Bhandari said.

Gold surges Rs 2,000 to Rs 1.58 lakh/10g; silver rises Rs 730 in Delhi
New Delhi, Aug 18: Gold price climbed Rs 2,000 to Rs 1.58 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Tuesday, extending gains for a second straight session as retailers and stockists stepped up buying. The yellow metal of 99.9 per cent purity appreciated by Rs 2,000 to Rs 1,58,800 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) from Monday's closing level of Rs 1,56,800 per 10 grams. Silver also advanced Rs 730 to Rs 2,40,730 per kilogram(inclusive of all taxes), after remaining flat at Rs 2,40,000 per kg for two sessions, according to the All India Sarafa Association. Globally, spot gold traded 0.5 per cent lower to USD 4,394.57 per ounce, and silver dropped a little over 1 per cent to USD 65.08 per ounce. Gold was hovering around USD 4,392 per ounce as crude oil rebounded on supply concerns emanating from West Asia, Praveen Singh, Head of Commodities at Mirae Asset ShareKhan, said. Oil prices gained after the 60-day US-Iran ceasefire expired on Monday. While the period can be extended, neither side is willing to do so, he said. US President Donald Trump said Washington had an edge over Tehran as the naval blockade continued, while Iran had asked its military to remain steady. The global investment story, however, continues to provide a cushion. Total known gold-backed exchange-traded fund holdings rose again on Monday to 97.39 million ounces, Singh added. Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research, Kotak Securities, said spot silver eased towards USD 65 per ounce, weighed down by a firm US Treasury yields and some profit-taking. Despite the pullback, Chainwala said the broader backdrop remained constructive for bullion, supported by softer Fed rate expectations, sustained central bank buying led by China and steady investment demand. The focus shifts to the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's July meeting for fresh insights on the US monetary policy outlook. With the Fed's policy path yet to be clarified at Jackson Hole Symposium, gold and silver may see continued two-way volatility in the near term, Chainwala added.
