iPhone Users Can Now Add US Passport Info to Digital Wallets

Imagine your phone can now hold a digital version of your U.S. passport, like a special card in your Apple Wallet.

This new feature lets you use your iPhone to prove who you are at airport security for flights within the U.S. You'll scan your passport with your phone, then do some fun face movements to confirm it's really you.

When you get to the airport scanner, you just show your phone, and it securely shares the needed information without you having to unlock it or give it to anyone.

This is a beta program, meaning it's new and might have some bumps, and it only works for U.S. travel, not for going to other countries.

Apple says your information is kept safe and private on your phone, and they can't see when or where you use it.
