Apple Wallet Introduces New Travel-focused Features in iOS 26

At WWDC 2025, Apple revealed that Apple Wallet is becoming more travel-friendly. The app will soon support digital passports, and boarding passes will include new features designed to simplify the travel experience.

Digital Passports Offer Convenience, Not a Full Replacement

Apple clarified that the new digital passport feature is “not a replacement for your physical passport,” but it can be used in apps requiring age or identity verification and at select TSA checkpoints. It may also benefit those who haven’t yet obtained a Real ID.

Boarding passes have been accessible in the Wallet app for some time, offering quick access from the lock screen. With iOS 26, however, they’re getting several upgrades — including links to terminal maps, making it easier to navigate to your gate or baggage claim.

At baggage claim, a new integration with Find My in Wallet will be useful, enabling users to track the location of their AirTagged luggage directly from their boarding pass.
