Why can’t I add my US passport to Digital ID? The phone finds no chip on the bar code page.

I just added my Passport to my Wallet app. It took a few tries for my phone to read the chip on the back page of my Passport. You do have to lay the phone on the back page.
The use of electronic wallets is not governed by technology companies. Electronic wallets are regulated by governmental agencies. Sorry.
Hello once more~ Agreed…

Just for our reference, there are multiple posts on FB and Reddit that TSA is not currently accepting Digital ID at most (all?) airports. 😄😄
Maybe the 12 mini just isn't up to the task. ReadID Me doesn't work, either.
Yup turned all the lights on in the room and it finally went through successfully. Not sure if that was the reason or not but still odd. Thanks!

Was your success realized by using the “inside” or the “outside” of the rear cover ?
Kind of a myopic view of things. Your proof that it’s not a US State Department issue? It’s not like a recent government shutdown would have no effect on anything.
I’m well past triple digit attempts. I even gave it a rest for 86 hours. The only progress is the rejections are within two minutes.
I have recently flown in and out of FLL and was told it only works in the Precheck line.
I was able to add my family's passports to digital IDs to their iPhones except I was not able to add digital IDs for my 12 year-old child. I understand there are restrictions to Apple wallet for those under 13 years old but blocking adding a digital ID for a child does not make sense.
