According to Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, a digital version of the U.S. passport will soon be available on iPhone.
Bailey reiterated that the feature is coming soon during her keynote at the Money20/20 USA conference in Las Vegas.
The feature, initially delayed, is now expected to be released later this year, as stated on Apple's iOS 26 page. However, it is unclear whether a software update, such as iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2, will be required to use the feature.
