Apple has been trying to get states/governments to let them add their ID to Apple Wallet for years now. Only a handful of states have complied. I’m not sure if you can add a passport.
The most common misconception is that a cop will take your phone and have access to all your personal information plus they’re in your phone. That’s not how it’s intended to work (but absolutely can regardless of whether your state supports digital ID). The intended use is much like paying for goods, they hold up a reader, you open Wallet and select your ID, tap your phone to their reader, and they can see all the relevant information. And it’s encrypted and all that.
Of course, I’m talking about cops following procedure, not thugs working directly for Trump.

I would advise never using your phone. That just cant end well.
Your phone should never be involved in your interactions with cops. You should literally shut it down

I agree. I just mean, in theory, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
If I had state ID on my phone and a cop asked for it with the reader, sure, I’ll do it. He wants the phone, I’m squeezing the side button five times to lock it so Face ID is disabled. That also prevents data access via the USB port until it’s unlocked. And oops, I forgot the passcode. Can’t prove I know it, I just use Face ID.

Ur better off just shutting it down. As long as it is still is AFU (after first unlock) theres all kinds of fuckery they can work with. It has to be ahard shutdown or reset
