Google Wallet Introduces Digital US Passports in Beta Test

The new feature aims to streamline airport security but requires users to still carry physical IDs.

Google Wallet's new beta feature allows users to create a digital version of their US passport.
The digital passport can be used at select TSA checkpoints in several states and Puerto Rico.
Creating a digital ID involves scanning the passport's security chip and taking a selfie video for verification.
Despite the digital option, users must still carry their physical passports as the feature is not a full replacement.
Google is working with government agencies to expand digital ID support for broader uses like car rentals and account recovery.
