Hi there Mitchla,
Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're asking if using an AirTag with an RFID-blocking wallet would be a problem. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.

With that said, you may experience some interference or have difficulty using an AirTag with an item that has metal components.
