Scan both sides of your cards and document copies, search them offline, and choose which details to show. PRIVACY AND PRESENTATION Your wallet is encrypted on your iPhone and protected by device authentication. Hide selected details without changing originals, save reusable Ways to Present, and open a focused full-screen view. Core wallet use needs no digiID account. ONE FREE CARD Your first saved card is free. Basic privacy editing, code checks, saved-card access, recovery and plain privacy-masked PDF export remain available without a subscription. Detection can miss details or codes; always review the result. OPTIONAL DIGIID PLUS Create pictured Apple Wallet references from any card category, or copies of compatible static membership codes. Plus also adds more cards, up to 50 Ways to Present per card, Prism/Aurora/Gold/Graphite privacy finishes, purpose labels for PDFs, and personal shortcuts and widgets. The U.S. offer is a three-day free trial for eligible subscribers, then $3.99 per month. Apple shows local prices and eligibility. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Plus automatically renews unless canceled. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings. APPLE WALLET Preview your masked card picture and optional lower-back detail. Personal references need no typed code. Membership passes support static QR, PDF417, Aztec and plain Code 128. Review detected codes; acceptance depends on the provider. With consent, reviewed pass fields, image fingerprints and Apple subscription proof go to digiID's signing service. Card images are attached on your iPhone, not uploaded. Apple confirms Add to Wallet. Wallet keeps a separate copy outside digiID's lock and may sync it through Apple. Later edits to your card or masks do not update exported copies. Plus is needed to create or recreate a pass; existing passes remain after Plus ends. Use Present card in Pass Details to open its saved presentation after authentication. Apple controls taps on the pass. These are digiID-branded personal copies. Official IDs, payments, changing codes and NFC door keys require issuer support. Import an issuer's original .pkpass when available. QUICK ACCESS AND EXPIRY DATES Named card shortcuts and widgets open the matching presentation after authentication. Shortcut pictures are cropped automatically, with 14 frame choices. Apple requires you to hold the prepared card in Shortcuts, choose Add to Home Screen and confirm Add. Exported pictures and names are outside digiID's lock and may sync through Apple. Add an expiry event to your chosen calendar with reminders 30, 7 and 1 day before expiry, after granting permission. IMPORT AND PERSONALIZE With Unlimited Cards or active Plus, import images from Photos or Files, crop and review them, and choose the classic digiID icon or the sample-card icon. EXISTING PURCHASES Your original Unlimited Cards purchase retains its purchased card and saved-version capacity. Restore using the Apple Account that purchased it. Ending Plus does not delete cards, uncover saved masks or disable saved presentation versions. Update without deleting the app to preserve older cards available for recovery. OPTIONAL NITO ENCRYPTED VAULT Purchase original Unlimited Cards first, then add NITO with a separate one-time purchase. Tap NITO encrypted vault for guided setup and local prices. Store photos and PDFs locally, search and rename files, and create manual encrypted backups. Device authentication protects access; its private shortcut is not a separate password. Recovery needs your backup file and separate recovery key. Cloud backup and sync are not included. digiID stores personal copies. It does not issue, verify or replace official identification. Decorative privacy holograms are not issuer security marks. Purpose labels do not prevent copying.
