TSA Expands Digital ID Acceptance to 14 States and Puerto Rico for Airport Security

2025-03-31  Per Henrikson

Digital IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints equipped with CAT-2 facial recognition technology, which verifies identity by comparing the photo embedded in the digital ID with a live photo taken at the checkpoint. The system requires travelers to tap or scan their digital ID and provide consent to share information with TSA personnel. The implementations follow the ISO 18013-5 standard for mobile driver’s licenses, ensuring interoperability and security across different jurisdictions. {
