# PKAddPaymentPassRequest

Contains the card data needed to add a card to Apple Pay.

```
class PKAddPaymentPassRequest
```

## Overview

All sensitive data must be encrypted before being assigned to this object. Because the encryption keys vary depending on the server, create [`PKAddPaymentPassRequest`](/documentation/PassKit/PKAddPaymentPassRequest) instances only when your [`PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate`](/documentation/PassKit/PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate) object’s [`addPaymentPassViewController(_:generateRequestWithCertificateChain:nonce:nonceSignature:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/PassKit/PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate/addPaymentPassViewController(_:generateRequestWithCertificateChain:nonce:nonceSignature:completionHandler:)) method is called. The required server certificates are provided at that time.

> Important:
> Adding payment passes requires a special entitlement issued by Apple. Your app must include this entitlement before you can use this class. For more information on requesting this entitlement, see the Card Issuers section at [developer.apple.com/apple-pay/](https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/).
