Apple Wallet soon to include passports, but it won't be valid for this type of travel
Apple announced that iOS users will be able to create a digital ID using their passport in Apple Wallet beginning this fall when the new iPhone operating system rolls out. An Apple spokesperson said during the event, "While not a replacement for your physical passport, digital ID can be used for domestic travel and at supported TSA checkpoints. " To be clear, that means even travelers who have a digital passport in their Apple Wallet will still need to present the physical document at customs and border checkpoints when traveling internationally. However, the Transportation Security Administration confirmed that a digital passport will be accepted by TSA officers at security screenings for domestic travel. When the REAL ID law took effect in May, many travelers had to double-check whether they had compliant driver's licenses or would need an alternative form of ID, like a passport, to board domestic flights. Apple said it is also refreshing digital boarding passes and improving the travel-centric features of its Wallet app. Zach Wichter is a travel reporter and writes the Cruising Altitude column for USA TODAY.

Apple Wallet gains new travel-friendly features in iOS 26
Apple Wallet is getting a bit more travel-friendly, Apple announced at WWDC 2025. The app will soon be able to hold a digital version of your passport, and boarding passes will gain new features that promise to make traveling a little bit easier. The new passport feature is 'not a replacement for your physical passport,' Apple said, but it can be used in apps that need to verify age and identity and at supported TSA checkpoints. Digital passports could help procrastinators who have yet to get their Real ID. Boarding passes have long been stored in the Wallet app, allowing for quick access from the lock screen. But with iOS 26, they're getting a host of new features. Boarding passes will now include links to terminal maps so it's easier to find your way to the gate or to baggage claim. Once at the claim, Wallet's new link to Find My should come in handy, allowing users to check the boarding pass to track the progress of their AirTagged luggage.
