Why should you store your driver’s license in Apple Wallet?
Storing your Apple ID in your apple wallet can be more secure than carrying a physical card that can be easily lost. Additionally, personal information is not visible in your digital ID as a physical ID card. Digital IDs stored in your Apple Wallet do not display personal information in addition to your full name. To display things like your address, date of birth and so on, you have to sign in with face ID or touch ID.
The information is only transferred from your apple wallet through NFC, which uses an encrypted Bluetooth data connection. This means that nothing can be copied easily or quickly. Whenever you have to hand over your phone to a police officer or TSA agent, they will not see your personal information from you without authentication.
Using your digital ID with Apple Wallet from your iPhone or Apple Watch works similar to Apple Pay. You hold the device near the reader, and a screen tells you what information you will share. Next, you will double-tap the side button to approve it, as if you were paying with Apple Pay.

Why can’t I add my driver’s license to my Apple Wallet?
If you are unable to add your driver’s license to your Apple ID, this is most likely because your state does not yet support the convenience. If your state is in the list above, but you cannot add your license, it may be due to a temporary Apple server outage. Apple recommends that you contact the local DMV or state office that releases your card in the event that the servers are not down.
