Apple\u2019s Wallet app just got a bunch of new features<\/a> in iOS 26, but there\u2019s another addition coming very soon: US passport support.<\/p>\n Digital IDs in Wallet will gain US passports by the end of the year<\/p>\n When iOS 26 launched last week to all users, it included almost every new feature that was shown off at WWDC in June.<\/p>\n Unlike past years, when Apple regularly demoed features that didn\u2019t ship until x.1, x.2, or updates that were even farther out, this year was different.<\/p>\n That said, not every single feature made the iOS 26.0 cut.<\/p>\n One prominent MIA feature was US passport support<\/a> in the Wallet app.<\/p>\n Digital IDs have been a feature inside Apple Wallet for years, but they\u2019ve rolled out very slowly.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because in order to offer a digital ID for a state driver\u2019s license, for example, that state needs to get on board in full partnership with Apple.<\/p>\n Right now, only 11 states and territories<\/a> offer digital IDs in the US.<\/p>\n But US passport support, when it does arrive, will bring a form of digital ID to a lot more iPhone users.<\/p>\n As spotted by MacRumors<\/a>, Apple\u2019s website was recently updated<\/a> to provide a timing update for passports.<\/p>\n Footnote 13 reads:<\/p>\n Digital\u00a0ID will be coming later this year with US passports\u00a0only.<\/p>\n This likely means that we\u2019re either looking at a release in iOS 26.1 in late October, or iOS 26.2 in early-to-mid December.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also possible that Apple could add US passport support to Wallet via a server-side update, with no software release required.<\/p>\n In any case, soon iPhone users will be able to add their US passport to the Wallet app as a form of digital ID.<\/p>\n Do you plan to add your US passport to Apple\u2019s Wallet app?
