# Wallet Passes

Create, distribute, and update passes for the Wallet app.

## Overview

Overview Passes are digital representations of information that previously might have been distributed on paper, plastic, or some other physical item. Passes enable people to take action, including board a flight, attend an event, or redeem a coupon. Use the Wallet Passes framework to create dynamic, interactive passes that stay up-to-date and provide people with relevant information.

With this framework you can: Create boarding passes, event tickets, store cards, coupons, and generic passes. Update the pass contents in real-time. Display multiple upcoming events on a single ticket. Integrate with system features like Maps, notifications, and Live Activities. Support automatic pass updates with flight tracking for boarding passes. To enable a person to install your pass, you’ll: Create the source for a pass. Build a distributable pass from the source. Distribute a pass. You can further tailor passes for a personalized experience and make live updates to different kinds of passes through your server.
