Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, iPhone users can now add their passport details to their Apple digital wallets.
The company on Wednesday unveiled its new “Digital ID” system for users to add their U.S. passport information to Apple Wallet, which can be scanned at airport readers if travelers don’t have a Real ID.
Digital ID acceptance “will roll out first in beta” at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at more than 250 U.S. airports for “in-person identity verification during domestic travel.”
The company warned that Digital ID doesn’t replace a physical passport and can’t be used for international travel and crossing borders.
Apple already allowed people in 12 states and Puerto Rico to add their driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet, while TSA already accepts some form of a digital ID in at least 16 states and Puerto Rico.
“You can breeze through more than 250 TSA checkpoints faster and more securely than ever before,” the agency’s website says.
