Apple says it secures your IDs with the same technology and encryption backing your credit cards in Apple Pay. Once you set up your driver’s license and other ID cards in the iPhone, you’ll be able to present your identification on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
How you’ll scan your driver’s license into your iPhone with iOS 15

Step 2: Open the Apple Wallet app.
Step 3: Tap the + sign in the upper right corner of the screen and tap the card type, e.g. an identification card, hotel key, digital car key, transit card, and so on.
Step 4: Follow the screen prompts to begin to scan your driver’s license or state ID using the iPhone’s camera and built-in scanner. For example, Apple will advise you to scan the front of your card first and make sure you’re in an area with plenty of bright light and a simple, dark backdrop.
Step 5: After scanning your driver’s license or ID, the Wallet app.
