Utah mandates blockchain pilot for digital ID

Utah’s Division of Technology Services has been tasked with piloting a blockchain system for Verifiable Credentials that can be used to issue digital ID.

The ‘Government Digital Verifiable Record Amendments’ bill signed into law by Governor Spencer Cox mandates the department to provide the state government with recommendations on how to issue digital ID, and report on its progress to do so by October.

Policies and procedures to protect personally identifying information (PII) will be considered, and the Division will consult with state privacy authorities.
