Summary

  • Utah and Virginia appear poised to join Apple Wallet’s digital ID program after both states were found enabled in Apple’s backend systems.
  • Aaron Perris’ findings suggest Apple has finished part of the technical groundwork, though the public launch still depends on coordination and timing with each state.
  • Apple introduced Wallet support for digital IDs years ago, but state adoption has moved slowly and only picked up more noticeably over the past year.
  • If the rollout proceeds, residents in the 2 states would soon be able to add a driver’s license or digital ID to Apple Wallet.
