Digital passport

If you live in a state that doesn’t yet offer an Apple Wallet ID, you can now create a digital ID based on your U.S. passport and present it at the same participating TSA checkpoints, for age and identity verification purposes during domestic travel. It does not replace a physical passport and cannot be used for international travel.

This feature requires iOS 26.1 or watchOS 26.1 and later.
