Apple’s been rolling out drivers licenses in Wallet slowly over the past few years, but that’s on a state-by-state basis. Digital ID is universal, allowing anyone with a passport to use it.\n\nOf course, you can use it at TSA checkpoints in airports – but Apple had a bigger scope in mind: digital age and identity verification. While not yet confirmed, it’s possible that we could see a first major implementation of this quite soon, in Claude.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case", "canonical_source": "https://9to5mac.com/2026/06/21/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case-soon/", "published_at": "2026-06-22 01:44:55+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-22 02:11:39.939967+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Apple", "Apple Wallet", "Claude", "TSA"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-wallets-digital-id-feature-could-potentially-have-a-major-new-use-case.jsonld"}}
