iPhone Driver's License Feature in Apple Wallet App Launches in Another U.S. State

Every time this list shows up I see it still has Utah on it. Utah canceled their digital ID program. This isn't happening in Utah and it shouldn't be on this list. In fact, the only thing Utah ever committed to was funding one person's time to consult on what it would take to do the thing. Utah has never committed to actually doing this. They ran a small scale digital ID test that allowed, for example, for using digital IDs at liquor stores in certain areas. In the end, it's just being scrapped.

Sorry if you're a Utahn and this is sad news for you but at the same time, given the direction this country is going, do you really want to make it even easier for fascists to track your every action? It's probably a good thing to avoid these systems.

Still available.

As for the airports, I have used my Arizona digital ID in SLC, so it works there too. And this was only two weeks ago.

How well does using this digital DL work in the real world. I'd imagine some people refuse this, whether they should or not according to state laws.

Honestly its worked for me pretty well. I don’t drink, so I can’t really tell you there. But its worked when I got pulled over, and its worked at every airport I flown to (in the United States).
 
I've tried it a few times at SJC, SFO, LAX, DEN... For some reason it never worked with the TSA facial scans, then I had to resort to my physical CA license and the facial scan worked just fine. What gives??

I have yet to find a single place that will actually accept my license in California. Great concept, but the execution just isn't there. The state should mandate to businesses that they have to accept it.
