Apple has announced that starting this fall, iOS users will be able to add a digital version of their passport to Apple Wallet with the release of the new iPhone operating system.
An Apple spokesperson explained, “While not a replacement for your physical passport, digital ID can be used for domestic travel and at supported TSA checkpoints.”
This means travelers can use the digital passport for security screenings within the U.S. However, the physical passport will still be required for international customs and border control.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confirmed that TSA officers will accept digital passports during domestic travel screenings.
