Why will Apple Pay not accept my drivers license

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that link was just for Apple Card. The only other thing I could find was this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207887. In the second section, it starts talks about Apple Cash which is part of the setup when trying to send or receive money with Apple Pay. Maybe worth a quick read.

I have seen from a few others that sometimes the process gets stuck with verification. In their cases, they contacted Apple Support which then "closed" their Apple Cash account in order for them to start a new setup. Not sure if all this applies to your situation, but I hope it helps.

Sometimes this happens for various reasons. This article goes into detail on what you can do. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209218#declinedidverification

If the steps outlined still didn’t help, then you’ll want to contact Apple Support. They can help you from there.
