Apple Wallet is getting a bit more travel-friendly, Apple announced at WWDC 2025. The app will soon be able to hold a digital version of your passport, and boarding passes will gain new features that promise to make traveling a little bit easier. The new passport feature is “not a replacement for your physical passport,” Apple said, but it can be used in apps that need to verify age and identity and at supported TSA checkpoints. Digital passports could help procrastinators who have yet to get their Real ID. Boarding passes have long been stored in the Wallet app, allowing for quick access from the lock screen. But with iOS 26, they’re getting a host of new features. Boarding passes will now include links to terminal maps so it’s easier to find your way to the gate or to baggage claim.
Once at the claim, Wallet’s new link to Find My should come in handy, allowing users to check the boarding pass to track the progress of their AirTagged luggage.
