Travel Tip: Touchless ID Update

June 26, 2026

Google Wallet has become the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, allowing you to verify their identity using facial recognition instead of presenting physical ID or boarding passes at security checkpoints. This feature is available at 65 airports nationwide and works with over 100 TSA PreCheck partner airlines.

How it works with Google Wallet:

  1. Check-in: Travelers check in with a participating airline and add their boarding pass to Google Wallet.
  2. Opt-in prompt: Eligible travelers with an eligible digital ID will see a “Get started” button in Google Wallet and will be redirected to the TSA consent page.
  3. Consent: Travelers authorize sharing their digital ID and boarding pass in Google Wallet with TSA.
  4. Confirmation: TSA confirms enrollment and sends a success code to Google Wallet.
  5. Indicator: Google Wallet updates the traveler’s boarding pass with the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator.
