If you're itching to add your state ID or driver's license to your Apple Wallet, you'll have to wait just a little longer. 

An update to Apple's website describing iOS 15 noted that the feature is slated for "early 2022." The change was spotted Tuesday by MacRumors, which noted that the feature had been expected late this year.

Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. 

In September, the company announced the first batch of states set to get the feature. It was initially introduced at WWDC 2021.

"The addition of driver's licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet is an important step in our vision of replacing the physical wallet with a secure and easy-to-use mobile wallet," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, in a statement at the time.
