Apple allows passport data and a photo to be stored in the Wallet app on an iPhone by scanning the passport's photo page and its embedded chip and taking a selfie for biometric verification. After verification, the Digital ID is added to Wallet and can be presented via iPhone or Apple Watch. The ID is accepted as a beta method at more than 250 TSA checkpoints in the United States and functions only for domestic flight identity verification. The digital passport does not replace a physical passport for international travel. Similar Wallet options exist for driver's licenses and state IDs in several states.
