Apple has announced the long-awaited support for adding digital ID cards to the Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch.
The new feature is rolling out to users in the United States with support for passports launched initially. The Digital IDs will be accepted at TA checkpoints in more than 250 airports across the United States.
However, Apple warns that it isn’t a replacement for your actual passport.
Digital ID gives more people a way to create and present an ID in Apple Wallet even if they do not have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or state ID. Digital ID is not a replacement for a physical passport, and cannot be used for international travel and border crossing in lieu of a U.S. passport.
Users will be able to access and present their Digital ID in much the same way that they currently use Apple Pay, so the experience will be immediately familiar. Apple asys that everything is protected as well, adding that Digital ID data is encrypted.
This Digital ID passport support joins existing driver’s ID support in 12 states and Puerto Rico. The rollout continues, with Apple saying that “in the past six months alone, the feature has come to Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia, and launched internationally for the first time in Japan with My Number Card on iPhone.”
