You can now add your US passport to Samsung Wallet

Samsung has announced a partnership with CLEAR to bring secure access to mobile digital IDs in the USA. As part of the collaboration, you can now add a digital version of your passport to the Samsung Wallet app on your Galaxy phone.

The two companies have worked together to introduce Samsung ID with CLEAR in Samsung Wallet at no additional cost. This feature allows you to add information from your US passport to the app.

The information is verified by CLEAR and can be used to confirm your identity at more than 250 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints without needing to present a physical passport.

If you are a US passport holder, you can now create and securely store a TSA-approved digital ID in Samsung Wallet on your Galaxy phone. The digital ID can be used for domestic travel and at select stadiums, including BMO Stadium.

CLEAR is a US-based company that operates biometric identity verification systems at major airports and stadiums.

Woncheol Chai, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Wallet Team at Samsung MX, said, “We’re thrilled to partner with CLEAR to bring CLEAR ID to Samsung Wallet, making airport travel and other identity verification experiences easier and frictionless for our users.”
