"Today, Apple is announcing the launch of Digital ID for US passports. This is accepted at TSA checkpoints at more than 250 airports across the country for in-person identity verification during domestic travel. Apple unsurprisingly promises that "additional Digital ID acceptance use cases" will come in the future. As already implied by the wording above, Digital ID is not a replacement for a physical passport and can't be used for international travel."
"To add your passport to Apple Wallet, you'll scan the photo page of your passport, and will then be asked to use your iPhone to read the chip embedded into the passport to ensure the data's authenticity. You'll also take a selfie for verification, and you'll be prompted to "complete a series of facial and head movements" during the setup process. To use the Digital ID, double-click the side button or Home button to access Apple Wallet and then select Digital ID."

To present the Digital ID, users open Wallet, select Digital ID, hold an iPhone or Apple Watch near an identity reader, and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. Passport data is encrypted and stored only on-device, and only necessary information is presented during transactions.
