The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in collaboration with the state of Montana, deployed technology that allows airline passengers to use their state-issued driver’s license or identification card in Apple Wallet to verify their identity for airport security screening purposes at select TSA checkpoints including Helena Regional Airport (HLN).

Individuals with an eligible Montana driver’s license or state identification card will be able to add a digital version of their license to Apple Wallet and use their iPhone or Apple Watch to present at TSA security checkpoints for identity verification purposes.

“TSA is committed to leveraging technology to enhance airport security, reduce touchpoints, and provide greater convenience to travelers at TSA security checkpoints,” said Kc Wurtsbaugh, TSA Federal Security Director for Montana. “The launch of ID in Apple Wallet in Montana and its acceptance at TSA security checkpoints across the country, including at HLN, is an example of how TSA is continuously integrating technology into the security screening process.”
