Key Points:
- Apple is reportedly advancing plans to make Utah driver's licenses and IDs available in Apple Wallet for iPhone and Apple Watch users, as indicated by backend signs discovered by MacRumors.
- Utah currently offers a mobile driver's license through a standalone app, but integration with Apple Wallet has not yet been implemented, though the state plans to enable this feature.
- Apple initially announced support for Utah IDs in Apple Wallet in 2021, but the feature has not launched, with other states like Connecticut, Kentucky, and Virginia also planning to add support.
- Several states, including Arizona, California, and Maryland, along with Puerto Rico, have already implemented digital IDs in Apple Wallet, which can be used at select TSA checkpoints and some business venues.
- In states without Apple Wallet license support, users can still add their U.S. passport to Apple Wallet using the iOS 16 Digital ID feature for identification purposes.
