Apple launched a new Digital ID feature for users to add passport information to their Apple Wallet, which will be accepted at 250 TSA checkpoints.

To show your Digital ID in person, double-click the side button or press the Home button to access Apple Wallet and then select Digital ID. You can then place your iPhone or Apple Watch near an identity reader or scanner, view the requested information, and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID to proceed.

Apple's new passport-based Digital ID is rolling out on iPhone and Apple Watch — giving travelers a new way to clear TSA security lines with just their device. Why it matters: It's the biggest step yet in the tech giant's push to make the Apple Wallet app a digital replacement for everything in your pocket — from credit cards to car keys to IDs.
