Samsung Wallet Now Holds Your US Passport for TSA Checkpoints
New York – October 11, 2026 -- US passport holders can now add a free, TSA-approved digital ID to Samsung Wallet and use it at more than 250 Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, leaving the physical ID in the bag. The feature, called Samsung ID with CLEAR, comes from a partnership between CLEAR and Samsung Electronics America.
How the digital ID works at the airport
Samsung ID with CLEAR is a digital ID backed by the information in your US passport and verified by CLEAR's secure identity platform. Travelers can present it at airport security with a simple tap or a QR scan. It is approved for domestic travel.
