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.
An update on the Apple website indicated that it is expected by the end of the year, and Jennifer Bailey, Apple's VP of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, confirmed that it is still in the works.
US passport support will work similarly to making an Apple Pay transaction, using NFC to transmit digital passport information to a reader.
The secure protocol used allows the TSA system to verify the authenticity of passport details.
However, it is essential to note that the digital passport will not be usable for international travel, which will still require a physical passport.
Key points to consider:
- US passport support in Apple Wallet is expected by the end of the year.
- Digital passport information will be transmitted via NFC, similar to Apple Pay transactions.
- The digital passport will not be usable for international travel.
