Residents of several states will be able to show their driver's license or ID on their iPhone or Apple Watch's Apple Wallet platform, Apple Inc. said.

The tech giant on Wednesday said Arizona and Georgia will be the first states to adopt the feature, with Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Utah to follow. Apple Wallet is a platform through which Apple users can display and use other types of documentation such as credit cards and boarding passes.

The company said the U.S. Transportation Security Administration will enable certain airport security checkpoints as first locations that will accept IDs on iPhone or Apple Watch.

Apple said the company and issuing states won't know when or where users have presented their IDs.
