In addition to driver's licenses and state IDs, iOS 26 is introducing a new Digital ID, which can be created based on a U.S. passport.

These digital IDs are completely useless. They aren’t accepted anywhere, all the airports that say they are accepted I’ve never once had it work, and even picking up an online order at the Apple Store they wouldn’t accept my digital ID and made me show my physical ID.
If these were adopted like Apple Pay was it would be cool, but it’s entirely useless. Nice try though.

Correct me if I'm wrong: none of those 10 states actually state that the digital ID can be used in lieu of the actual ID card. Nor does the federal gov.
Until that changes, carry your ID when leaving your home.

You in FL?
I'm in Florida and I've lost hope. We were supposed to get a replacement by now, but nothing has been announced.
At least there is the passport option now? Also, I believe TPA now supports digital ID's because there were terminals for it and it was being advertised in the TSA line.

Yeah, in California anyway, you still have to carry your physical driver license, so the digital one is nearly useless.
But maybe this is the thin end of the wedge
