Apple's new passport-based Digital ID is rolling out on iPhone and Apple Watch — giving travelers a new way to clear TSA security lines with just their device. Why it matters: It's the biggest step yet in the tech giant's push to make the Apple Wallet app a digital replacement for everything in your pocket — from credit cards to car keys to IDs.

Yes, you can store your U.S. passport in your Wallet app now. But don’t leave that hard copy at home just yet.

On Wednesday, Apple launched its new Digital ID feature, having announced in June that it would debut as part of iOS 26. Travelers can now use their passports to create a Digital ID, which is valid for use at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at over 250 airports. It is not currently eligible for international travel.
