How to Add a Business Card to Apple Wallet

An Apple Wallet business card is a pass that keeps a scannable or tappable route to your card near other frequently used passes. It is not the same as a saved contact: the Wallet pass helps you present the card, while a vCard places your details in the recipient's address book.

Create and add the pass

Open your digital card's Wallet option on the iPhone, review the displayed identity and destination, and choose the system action to add it. Open Wallet afterward and verify that the pass appears and that its QR code or link reaches the correct public profile.

Test the full handoff

Increase screen brightness, present the code at a comfortable distance, and scan it with another phone. Confirm that the destination needs no account and that save-contact works. Keep an NFC or direct-link fallback for conditions where camera scanning is awkward.

Understand updates

The underlying web card can stay current behind a stable URL. Whether visual fields on an installed pass update depends on the pass provider's update implementation and the phone's delivery conditions. The Apple Wallet business card guide explains the product flow.

Frequently asked questions

Does adding the pass save my contact?

No. Wallet stores the pass. The recipient saves your contact separately from the linked digital business card.

Can I share without unlocking Wallet?

Availability depends on device and Wallet settings. Do not rely on a single gesture; test your own phone and retain another sharing method.
