Will DHS and ICE consider them valid proof of citizenship? I’d really like that confirmed.
iAMkenough•3mo ago
Considering REAL ID is not sufficient for DHS or ICE, I highly doubt it.

> Apple says it is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel and border crossing purposes.

I'd read that as you're still expected to produce physical documents if you get questioned.

ImJamal•3mo ago
> Considering REAL ID is not sufficient for DHS or ICE, I highly doubt it.

You can get a real id without being a citizen so it shouldn't be used as proof of citizenship.

From the California DMV site:

> Any Californian who can prove their current legal presence in the United States (U.S.) with one of the accepted identity documents (original or certified copy) is eligible to receive a REAL ID driver license or identification (DL/ID) card. This includes all U.S. citizens, permanent residents who are not U.S. citizens (Green Card holders), and those with temporary legal status, such as recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and holders of a valid student or employment visa.

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification...

wildzzz•3mo ago
REAL ID was never intended to be a citizen ID card. It's really just an extension of state IDs to have better identity verification by requiring more documents. The goal is that if someone has a REAL ID, then that's really who they are.
iAMkenough•3mo ago
As you pointed out, you need to have a valid legal status to obtain a REAL ID.

My gripe is that presenting that proof of valid legal status is not enough proof for the enforcement agencies checking for valid legal status. A digital version of your passport is not going to make those agencies less difficult to work with in public places.

ImJamal•3mo ago
You had to have legal status when you received the real id. Having a non-expired real id does not mean you still have legal status.
sigmar•3mo ago
I added my US passport to my Pixel's wallet app in June. It's neat and let's you see what data is transmitted over NFC, and lists some details about the signed certificate for the data (seems they do only 2 weeks of validity for each cert signature, and the app fetches a new sig automatically) but I have yet to come across TSA agents advertising acceptance of digital IDs, so typically I default to my passport card.
ravenstine•3mo ago
Maybe I'm just not imaginative enough, but I don't imagine myself relying on a digital device in order to prove my identity in foreign countries. Drop your phone and break it... then what do you do? And yeah, you can lose your physical passport, but you can also repeatedly stomp on it and even submerge it in water and it will still be useful.
btian•3mo ago
The article says this is not a replacement for physical passport.
matthewdgreen•3mo ago
Not useful for much in the real world, but extremely useful for online age verification.
makeitdouble•3mo ago
I'm not sure what it actually means. For instance Apple Pay is probably not supposed to replace your actual credit card, but if you can live your life without ever using the physical one, that's just legalese.

If it really doesn't do much (i.e. only help to pass TSA lines), then perhaps it should be called something else. If it effectively can act as a passport in 80%+ more situations, "not a replacement for xxxx" will just be legalese for most users.

morshu9001•3mo ago
Yeah I purely care about whether or not this will get me through TSA. I'm against Apple Pay and all that, but I really don't want to carry (=risk losing) my physical passport just for domestic travel.
chrisphilip•3mo ago
You can use a Real ID drivers license for domestic travel, passport is only required when leaving the country.
morshu9001•3mo ago
I don't have a Real ID just cause I don't want to deal with getting one. Was banking on it getting delayed repeatedly until they offer something else.
dwaite•3mo ago
What else did you imagine?
morshu9001•3mo ago
Either a digital passport like we got around last year, this new Apple Wallet version, or just giving up on the RealID thing
kylehotchkiss•3mo ago
Instead of stomping on your passport, grab a $30 passport card, useful for ID in non-border contexts abroad (other countries tend to have card shaped national IDs that a passport card can stand in for). No real issues if you lose it; nobody can get into the USA with it, and you can leave your passport in your hotel room
devilbunny•3mo ago
> you can leave your passport in your hotel room

I generally do this anyway; about the only time I carry a passport while just out and about in another country (note: not risky ones) is if making large purchases that will be VAT-refundable. Do merchants accept the card in lieu of passport for verifying you for VAT exemption? Many will take a photo on the phone, but not all.

kylehotchkiss•3mo ago
I used it in South Asia for ID purposes. There’s a lot of going to photocopier businesses to get duplicates of things (gvmt offices won’t do that for you), so it’s nice that middlemen aren’t getting your home address
devilbunny•3mo ago
US passports do not have home addresses or Social Security numbers. Date and place of birth (state, not city) only. Probably not much safer, but there it is.
everfrustrated•3mo ago
First step on the path to signing everything you write on the internet with your government issued digital ID.

Be careful what you give up in the name of convenience.

morshu9001•3mo ago
Who says it's my- oh, FaceID
eqvinox•3mo ago
> when my iPhone is my wallet, passport, visa, and any other identity document I might require.

...also if your phone gets stolen now, you're completely screwed... for physical objects, you're supposed to keep your passport and wallet separate when travelling; makes recovering the respective other one easier if it gets stolen...
