Do passengers still need to bring physical IDs to the airports?

Yes. Currently, all passengers must continue to have physical IDs on hand. If a digital ID cannot be verified at the TSA security checkpoint, a passenger must use an acceptable physical identity document (e.g., driver’s license, passport) for identity verification.
