Apple has introduced Digital IDs in Apple Wallet based on U.S. passports, allowing users to verify their identity at TSA checkpoints in 250 airports using biometric authentication. The feature uses passport scanning, face-matching, and liveness checks to create a secure digital credential, expanding on Apple’s earlier support for state-issued mobile IDs. While not a replacement for physical passports at borders, the rollout marks a major step toward broader digital identity adoption across travel, services, and everyday transactions.
