Tribal members gain optional Utah license notation
Beginning January 1, 2027, enrolled members of federally recognized tribes can request “Federally Recognized Tribal Member” on Utah licenses or IDs. The Driver License Division must add it when applicants request it during the application process and provide satisfactory proof. Accepted proof includes an enhanced tribal card, tribal identification card, tribal certificate of Indian blood, or tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs birth affidavit. The notation cannot name the specific tribe or reveal other personal details from those documents. The law provides $192,900 once from the Department of Public Safety Restricted Account to Driver License Administration, intended for license-format updates. This funding covers fiscal year 2026, from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The law generally takes effect July 1, 2026, while the notation rules begin January 1, 2027.
