Apple's Digital ID enables scanning of a passport's photo page and embedded chip, plus a selfie verification, to add passport details to the Wallet app on an iPhone or Apple Watch. The Digital ID can be presented at more than 250 TSA checkpoints as a beta method to prove identity for domestic flights. The Digital ID functions as an additional form of identification, useful when a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID is not available. The Digital ID does not replace the physical passport for international travel or border crossings. Similar digital ID options exist for driver's licenses and state IDs in several US states.
