Digital driver’s licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet may soon arrive in Utah

24 July 2026 at 15:00
California driver’s licenses and state IDs can now be added to Apple Wallet, enabling residents to seamlessly and securely add and present their IDs using iPhone or Apple Watch.
In U.S. states such as California, driver’s licenses and state IDs can be added to Apple Wallet, enabling residents to seamlessly and securely add and present their IDs using iPhone or Apple Watch.

Utah residents may soon be able to store their driver’s licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch. MacRumors has uncovered references to a Utah ID in Apple’s backend systems, indicating the company is actively working on support. While the state already offers a mobile driver’s license through a standalone app, that solution currently lacks Apple Wallet integration.

Juli Clover for MacRumors:
‎

Utah’s mobile driver’s license FAQ page still says that it is still in the initial planning process of adding Utah IDs to Apple Wallet, but it may not be up to date.

The site also says that when Apple Wallet integration launches, iPhone users who already use the mobile app for their Utah ID will be able to download it to Apple Wallet.

Apple announced plans to add Utah driver’s licenses and IDs to the Apple Wallet app way back in 2021, but no integration has materialized. Utah was one of the first states Apple mentioned when rolling out the feature.

Other states planning to add support for driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet include Connecticut, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Virginia.

MacDailyNews Note: Multiple states and Puerto Rico have already implemented support for users to store their driver’s licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch, including:

Arkansas*
Arizona
California
Colorado
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
Iowa
Maryland
Montana
New Mexico
North Dakota
Ohio
West Virginia

*some users in specific jurisdictions in Arkansas may still see staggered access depending on whether their state agency has finalized all local database integrations.

23 July 2026 at 18:50

Usuários do cartão Alelo Pod (solução de benefícios flexíveis da Alelo) já podem adicioná-lo ao Apple Pay — meses após os próprios cartões da Alelo oferecerem suporte à carteira digital da Maçã.

O CEO 1Chief executive officer, ou diretor executivo. da Alelo, Márcio Alencar, disse que a integração com o Apple Pay era uma demanda de consumidores que buscavam maior praticidade e segurança “em linha com os novos hábitos digitais de quem busca liberdade de escolha na forma de pagamento, especialmente em dispositivos móveis”.

Como detalhado na publicação acima, para usufruir da novidade, basta abrir o app Meu Alelo, selecionar o seu cartão Alelo Pod e tocar em “Adicionar à Carteira Apple”. Em seguida, siga as etapas de segurança para finalizar o processo.

Outras adições ao Apple Pay

O Alelo Pod não foi a única adição recente ao Apple Pay. Já há alguns meses, os cartões da Alymente, do Banco Sofisa e do Ailos também passaram a oferecer suporte ao sistema de pagamento sem contato da Apple.

Por fim, conforme notado pelo leitor Lucas Ribeiro, o cartão de débito do banco japonês JP Bank (muito utilizado por brasileiros que residem no país) também passou a suportar o Apple Pay.
