Apple has introduced a digital ID feature in the Apple Wallet, which will be accepted by the TSA for domestic flight boarding. This development, announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference, aims to make travel easier for users of compatible iPhones and Apple Watches. However, it’s important to note that this digital ID is not valid for international flights, where a physical passport remains essential. Users must authenticate their identity through Face ID or Touch ID to use the digital ID, with specific device requirements based on the user's location.
The new digital ID feature in Apple Wallet allows TSA acceptance for domestic flights, easing travel for certain iPhone and Apple Watch users.
The digital ID will streamline domestic travel but will not replace physical passports for international flights; it specifically caters to TSA's requirements.
Users are required to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID before presenting their digital ID to the TSA, enhancing security during identity verification.
Travelers should ensure their devices meet the requirements for the digital ID, as many will need an iPhone 8 or newer, depending on their state.
