The best apps to keep boarding passes, passports and bookings in one place (2026)
Yes, but no single app is best at everything. Apple Wallet is the right home for the boarding pass itself, TripIt is the most established itinerary organizer, and Wanderlog suits trip planning. VizKeeper, a newer iPhone app, is the one here that also files passports and family documents and checks passport expiry against the trip.
How to choose
Start with what actually goes wrong on travel day. For most people it is one of four things: the boarding pass is buried in an email or a screenshot, the hotel confirmation is in a different place from the flight, someone's passport is about to expire, or the details are not available offline. Judge each app on these questions.
- Does it show a boarding pass that scans at the gate, without hunting for it?
- Can it collect flights, hotels and tickets into one trip, ideally from forwarded emails or screenshots?
- Can it hold passport or ID scans, and warn you about expiry?
- Does it work offline and for more than one traveler?
- What does it cost after the free tier?
The options
Apple Wallet
Best for: the boarding pass and tickets themselves. Apple's guide describes adding a pass by opening the email, app or message that contains it and tapping Add to Apple Wallet. The catch is that the airline or ticket seller has to issue a Wallet-compatible pass; if the Add button is missing, Apple says the issuer needs to support it. Wallet can also hide expired passes. It is built into iPhone and costs nothing.
Limits: it holds passes, not trips. A hotel confirmation without a pass has nowhere to live. Apple's newer Digital ID can be created from a U.S. passport and, according to launch coverage, is accepted at TSA checkpoints for domestic travel, but Apple said it does not replace a physical passport and cannot be used for international travel.
TripIt
Best for: people who book across many sites and want one itinerary. Per its App Store listing, you forward booking confirmations to plans@tripit.com and the app assembles them into a combined itinerary, available offline. You can upload PDFs, photos, boarding passes and digital passport QR codes. The app is free; TripIt Pro was listed at $48.99 for a year (TripIt's own page says $49) and adds flight status and check-in alerts, fare-drop notices, airport maps and disruption alerts. TripIt's Pro page also lists passport renewal reminders and country-specific travel information. The listing showed 4.8 out of 5 from about 313,000 ratings.
Limits: the smart parts, such as real-time alerts, are in the paid tier. Documents are stored as uploads rather than read into structured, per-person records.
Wanderlog
Best for: planning a trip, with places, maps and friends. Its listing says you can forward flight and hotel confirmations to a trip, or connect Gmail to import them automatically, with Gmail linking marked as a Pro feature. Plans are available offline. The listing showed 4.9 out of 5 from about 36,000 ratings and several Pro price points between $31.99 and $59.99 a year, so check the price in your own storefront.
Limits: the listing does not mention storing passports or other documents, and one reviewer on it said forwarded hotel emails sometimes needed manual correction.
Google Wallet and Gmail
Google's developer documentation describes importing boarding passes from flight reservation emails in Gmail into Google Wallet. It is a natural fit if you live in Android and Gmail. I did not verify how complete the iPhone experience is, so on iPhone I would treat Apple Wallet as the native choice.
VizKeeper
See the section below. It overlaps with TripIt on trip assembly and with Wallet on the boarding pass, and adds family document filing.

Where VizKeeper fits
VizKeeper is an AI organizer for iPhone and iPad from YOMOO LLC, the publisher of this site. You save screenshots, photos, PDFs and links; it reads them, builds one trip from flights, stays and tickets, and extracts dates, flight numbers and names. Boarding passes are shown with the code redrawn and the screen brightened at the gate, and travel day appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. If a booking has no time, an Add time prompt asks for it.
For families, passports, IDs and passes are filed by household member, cards and IDs can be locked behind Face ID, and trip checks flag passport expiry and entry rules. It tells you to confirm entry rules with the airline or embassy; it is not an authority on visas. You can ask a question such as "When do we land?" and get an answer that cites the save it came from.
What it does not do: there is no Android, web or Mac app (iPad works). It is new, and the App Store does not yet have enough ratings to show a score, so you are trusting a young product. It does not claim live flight-status alerts or airport maps, which TripIt Pro lists. Free covers 100 saves and 10 questions a month; Plus is $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Card numbers, ID numbers and passwords are never sent to AI, and a Keep everything on device setting sends nothing to AI services.
My practical advice: use Apple Wallet for passes that support it, TripIt if you want mature alerts and book on many sites, and consider VizKeeper if your problem is the pile of screenshots, PDFs and family passports behind the trip.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an app that keeps boarding passes, passports and travel bookings in one place?
Partly. Apple Wallet holds boarding passes, TripIt builds itineraries from bookings and stores uploaded documents, and VizKeeper combines a trip view with passports and IDs filed by person. No app covers every airline and booking site perfectly, so check the key details before you leave.
Can Apple Wallet store my passport?
Apple Wallet can hold a Digital ID created from a U.S. passport, which launch coverage says works at TSA checkpoints for domestic travel. Apple said it does not replace a physical passport and cannot be used for international travel.
Does TripIt cost money?
The TripIt app is free. TripIt Pro was listed at $48.99 for a year on the App Store and about $49 on TripIt's page, and adds alerts and tools. Check current pricing before you subscribe.
How do I check that my family's passports are valid for a trip?
Check each passport's expiry date against your return date and the destination's rules, and confirm entry requirements with your airline or the destination's embassy. Apps that track expiry, such as TripIt Pro or VizKeeper, can remind you, but the official rules are the final word.
