# canAddPaymentPass(withPrimaryAccountIdentifier:)

A Boolean value that indicates whether the app can add a card to Apple Pay for the provided primary account identifier.

## Declaration

```swift
func canAddPaymentPass(withPrimaryAccountIdentifier primaryAccountIdentifier: String) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `primaryAccountIdentifier`: A unique identifier for the underlying funding primary account number (PAN). This isn’t the PAN itself.

## Return Value

Return Value true if PassKit can add the pass.

## Discussion

Discussion Adding payment passes requires a special entitlement from Apple. If the entitlement isn’t present, this method returns false.  For more information about requesting this entitlement, see developer.apple.com/apple-pay/.
