"Apple and Google would like to see your identification, please. With the former's " Digital ID " launch last week, both companies now let you scan a digital version of your passport at more than 250 Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, using an iPhone or Android phone. A growing number of U.S. states already support digital driver's licenses for the same purpose. But the push for these digital IDs isn't merely about airport security (which still requires you to carry a physical license or passport anyway)."
"Open the Apple Wallet (iPhone) or Google Wallet (Android) app. Hit the + button and select the "ID" option. Scan your ID's main page with your phone's camera. Scan the back of your license, or place your phone on top of your passport's barcode page to scan the embedded RFID chip. Submit a photo of your face. Capture one or more short videos of your face performing some kind of movement. (This is presumably to prevent someone from digitizing your ID without permission.)"
Apple and Google allow users to add passports and certain state driver's licenses to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for use at TSA checkpoints. The enrollment process involves scanning ID pages, scanning the license back or passport barcode/RFID, submitting a facial photo, and recording short facial-movement videos for liveness verification. After a brief verification period, the digital ID appears in the phone's wallet alongside payment methods. Digital passports are available nationwide, while state driver’s license support varies by state. Some states also maintain their own digital-ID apps in addition to the wallet options.
