00:00You can now use iPhone as your ID.

00:03Apple has now launched Digital ID on iPhone, a new feature that lets users add a US passport-based

00:09ID to their Apple Wallet.

00:11It will be available to access via iPhone or Apple Watch.

00:15The rollout of this feature will start in beta at US airport TSA checkpoints.

00:21The company says that more places will soon accept Digital ID over time.

00:25Apple will let you add your IDs to the iPhone Wallet.

00:28Apple says that the Digital IDs will serve as another option for people to store their

00:33documents on their iPhones.

00:35During their recent announcement, the company stated Digital ID gives more people a way to

00:39create and present an ID in Apple Wallet even if they do not have a Real ID Compliant Driver's

00:44License or State ID.

00:46Jennifer Bailey, the Vice President of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet added,

00:50With the launch of Digital ID, we're excited to expand the ways users can store and present

00:55their identity, all with the security and privacy built into iPhone and Apple Watch.

01:01Adding these Digital IDs to an iPhone is a simple procedure.

01:04The user will have to open their Apple Wallet on iPhone and then tap the Add button.

01:09They can choose from a Driver's License or ID card, and then select Digital ID.

01:14It will require further authentication, and once done, the Digital ID will be stored and

01:19added to the iPhone's wallet.

01:21As of right now, the feature has just launched and is currently in a limited beta at TSA checkpoints.

01:26It is being tested at more than 250 US airports for Joint Person ID checks on domestic flights.

01:34Apple has made it clear that Digital ID on iPhone is not a replacement for a physical passport

01:38and cannot be used for international travel or border crossings.

01:42The company also notes that people who don't have a US passport can still add an eligible

01:46driver's license to their wallet, where that option is supported.

01:50In order to show the ID at a checkpoint, the device can be held near an identity reader.

01:55The user must use Face ID or Touch ID to authorize sharing.

01:59Apple says that there is no need to hand over the phone or unlock it.
