Apple has revolutionized the travel experience with the introduction of Digital ID in Apple Wallet. This new feature allows users to store their US passport information securely on their Apple devices, making it easier to access and share important identification documents while on the go. With TSA now accepting Digital ID, flying has become more streamlined and efficient for passengers.

Benefits of Digital ID
Apple ensures that all Digital ID data is encrypted and stored securely on the device. This feature works similar to Apple Pay, eliminating the need to physically hand over your device for ID verification.
