Apple’s new Digital ID uses information from a U.S. passport and hosts it on the iPhone securely, providing a new way for users to prove their identity to the TSA.

The Apple Wallet has included the capability to add a driving license for identity purposes for some time. However, on Wednesday, Apple extended the functionality so you can do it with passports too.
Marketed by Apple as Digital ID, the newly-launched feature lets users create an ID in Apple Wallet, using data from their U.S. passport. This Digital ID can then be presented using an iPhone or an Apple Watch as a form of verification.
