Published by World Travels Network
In a major leap forward for tech-savvy travelers, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially begun accepting digital IDs stored in Apple Wallet at select airport checkpoints for domestic flights.
This innovation marks a significant step in transforming how travelers move through airports—making the process faster, more secure, and completely contactless. At World Travels Network, we’re here to help you stay ahead of these changes and make every journey smoother.
🚀 What’s the Big Update?
Travelers in the U.S. can now add their state-issued digital driver’s license or ID card to Apple Wallet and use it to verify their identity at TSA PreCheck checkpoints in participating airports.
✅ Key Features of TSA-Approved Digital ID:
- Works with iPhone and Apple Watch
- Accepted at TSA checkpoints in select airports
- Uses Face ID or Touch ID for verification
- Completely contactless experience
- No need to show or hand over a physical ID
This initiative is part of a broader government push to modernize identification systems using secure mobile technology.
📍 Where Is It Available?
As of mid-2025, TSA digital ID support via Apple Wallet is available at select terminals in these major airports:
- Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)
- Denver International (DEN)
- Baltimore/Washington (BWI)
- Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)
- Los Angeles International (LAX)
(More airports are being added in phases.)
“This is the future of travel. Mobile IDs offer both security and convenience,” – TSA Administrator David Pekoske
🔒 Is It Secure?
Absolutely. When you present your digital ID at the TSA checkpoint:
- You tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the reader.
- TSA receives only the required information (name, photo, ID number).
- Face ID or Touch ID is required for identity confirmation.
- Your data is never shared with Apple or third-party servers.
The system is end-to-end encrypted, offering greater protection than showing a physical ID.
