Overview
- Apple updated its iOS 26 features page to state that “Digital ID will be coming later this year with US passports only.”
- Passport support is not in iOS 26.1 beta 1, and reporting suggests it could appear in later 26.1 or 26.2 builds or be enabled via a server-side rollout before year-end.
- When available, a digital U.S. passport in Wallet will work at TSA checkpoints for domestic travel and for identity or age verification in apps, retail locations, and websites.
- Adding passports will extend digital ID availability beyond the 11 states and territories that currently support Wallet-based driver’s licenses or state IDs.
- Apple has not provided a specific release date or indicated whether passport support will expand to other countries.
