You’ll soon be able to add a digital version of your U.S. passport to your iPhone, Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, said during her keynote at the Money20/20 USA conference in Las Vegas.

However, physical passports are still required for international travel and border crossings, as the digital passport.
