"A list of the airports accepting Apple's Digital ID wasn't immediately available from the TSA. Between the lines: Apple says the Digital ID is encrypted, private, and can only be accessed with Face ID or Touch ID - similar to how Apple Pay works. The company says it never sees when or where you use it. Yes, but: It's not a passport replacement - travelers still need a physical passport for international flights and border crossings."
"How it works: Setting it up requires an iPhone 11 or later or Apple Watch Series 6 or later, the latest software, Face ID or Touch ID, an unexpired U.S. passport and two-factor authentication on an Apple Account, Apple explains. In the Wallet app, users add a Digital ID by scanning their passport's photo page and embedded chip, then verifying with a live selfie and head movements. Once approved the ID appears in Wallet and can also be synced to an Apple Watch."
Apple's Digital ID beta will be accepted at TSA checkpoints at more than 250 U.S. airports for domestic travel. The Digital ID is encrypted, private, and accessible only with Face ID or Touch ID, and Apple does not see when or where it is used. The Digital ID does not replace a passport for international flights or border crossings. U.S. passport holders can add passports to Wallet; previously 12 states and Puerto Rico allowed driver's licenses. Setup requires iPhone 11 or later or Apple Watch Series 6 or later, current software, an unexpired U.S. passport, two-factor authentication, a chip scan, and live selfie verification.
