Apple Wallet’s Digital ID feature could potentially have a major new use case soon

Apple's Digital ID feature in Wallet, which currently supports US passports and drivers licenses, may soon be used for digital age and identity verification in Claude, expanding beyond TSA checkpoints.

Last year, Apple debuted Digital ID on iPhone https://9to5mac.com/2025/11/12/apple-launches-digital-id-wallet-passport-support/ , allowing users to use their US passport as identification in Apple Wallet. 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. Of 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.
