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.
The update requirement for the feature is unclear, as Apple's website no longer mentions the need for a software update.
