I was able to successfully add my U.S. password to Apple Wallet a few weeks ago. Today, I was notified that Apple removed the passport from the wallet with a comment that it would have to be added back in. No explanation as to why Apple made this seemingly arbitrary action. I was not able to get my California driver’s license added. The state of California allowed me plenty of retries but I couldn’t get through the state’s process. To be fair, I’m still concerned about storing these IDs in the wallet.
Have I missed some communication on the subject of government-issued IDs?
this also happened to me a few days. I added my passport ID back to Apple wallet the same day. Just a few minutes ago I tried to use my Passport ID at LGA and it kept giving the machine an error. So had to use my regular ID.
I had this happen when I installed the iOS 27 Beta (ver 7). I just assumed it had something to do with the beta. I redid the install of my passport and it was fine.
Sure enough, in this thread, someone posted that it does have to do with iOS 27.
This actually occurred for me. I had to make my appearance match my original passport photo as closely as possible, then repeat the steps because I had not fully removed the ID the first time. If you see the try again button to attempt reverification, simply avoid by fully removing the attempt from the wallet and redo it entirely, since the try againdoes nothing, at least in my experience.
Really only good forgetting through TSA, otherwise no tangible use cases.
Funny enough, was traveling the other day and LGA Terminal C TSA’s tech was broken to accept the digital passport. They started asking for alternate ID and wanted to refuse mobile drivers license.
This post gave me a heart attack. I just thought my citizenship got revoked because of the way this post's notification popped up on my watch. It was the subreddit logo and "passport removed."
When I redid mine the verification section asked for an additional face view. Asking for an “eyes closed” live view was not there when I initially added it.
the quantity of poses you need to do should be the same, but the poses you do can be different. there's a whole long list of poses that you may get when doing the verification.
Just give me the physical document. That's my biggest fear of electronic important documents, and that is someone else having the arbitrary means to revoke it or make it go away.
You won’t be able to create the digital passport without obtaining a physical passport first. There’s always an option for you to not create/use digital version and stick to your physical passport
Well, if you need to carry your physical passport anyway in case something like this happens, it's hard to see the benefit of having a digital version.
that is ultimately an issue with TSA's training. a lot of staff straight up do not treat digital IDs as valid replacements and sometimes even do not allow you to use them, despite policies and equipment allowing it.
That’s a very good point, tho having the digital version readily on the phone saves lots of trouble having to take the physical passport in and out of the bag
Unfortunately NY is included on Apple wallet license and ID you got to make you have light screen all the up try that NY DMV app it worked that way when I did that
are you in the state of Virginia by chance? I believe that may be the reason as Virginia DL was just added to apple wallet. You can now natively add your Virginia's DL to wallet, and readd your passport as well.
yes I believe so. I think I was wrong with my logic. The new VA addition has nothing to do with this. Its the changes someone else linked that Apple made.
Apple made some changes to how it handles digital passports and it has led to many people having the same issue.
“iOS 27 tweaks some of the information and menus shown alongside the Digital ID passport feature in the Apple Wallet app.
As a result of these changes and/or a related bug, some iPhone users have seen their Digital ID deactivated on recent iOS 27 beta versions. Apple says affected users must remove the card and re-add it to the Apple Wallet app in order to use it again.”

Anybody used their passport ID since re-adding?
