US Passport Support in Apple Wallet
US passport support in Apple Wallet is a significant step forward.
At WWDC25, it was announced that US passport support would be coming to Apple Wallet, although it has not yet arrived in iOS 26. However, Apple has confirmed that it is on the way.
An update to the Apple website indicated that it would be available by the end of the year, and Jennifer Bailey, Apple's VP of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, confirmed this in a conference keynote.
How it Works
US passport support will work similarly to making an Apple Pay transaction. Users will be invited to tap their iPhone to a reader, and their digital passport information will be transmitted via NFC, similar to card details when making a payment.
The secure protocol used allows the TSA system to verify that your passport details are genuine.
Limitations
It is essential to understand what you can and cannot do with your digital passport. Notably, you will not be able to use it for international travel, which will still require a physical passport.
