TL;DR Summary
Texas lawmakers require age verification for new Apple Accounts created in Texas on or after June 4, 2026, making Apple Wallet’s Digital ID a key method to prove you’re 18+. You can create Digital ID in Wallet (Driver’s License/ID, then Digital ID with a US passport). Digital ID is already used at TSA checkpoints in some regions, and if similar laws spread, it could become a privacy-friendly nationwide age-verification option.
