What the report says

9to5Mac reported on July 24, 2026, that Apple Wallet support for digital driver’s licenses may be coming to Utah and Virginia. The article cites findings from Aaron Perris of MacRumors, who said he found references in Apple’s backend indicating Utah could be next and that a similar reference to Virginia appeared in May but had not yet gone live.

According to 9to5Mac, the backend references suggest Apple has completed at least some of the technical preparation needed to support driver’s licenses and digital IDs in those states. However, the report cautions that there is no confirmed launch date, because availability depends not only on Apple but also on state-level readiness and approval processes.

Apple Wallet’s digital ID feature allows participating residents in supported jurisdictions to add a driver’s license or state ID to the Wallet app on iPhone and Apple Watch. The feature has been available for several years, but adoption across U.S. states has been gradual. 9to5Mac noted that rollouts have picked up somewhat over the past year, making the apparent Utah and Virginia references a sign of continued expansion.

The development matters because broader state participation is essential for Apple Wallet IDs to become more useful in everyday life. Still, based on the reported evidence, residents of Utah and Virginia should treat the news as an indication of possible upcoming support rather than an official launch announcement from Apple or either state.
