Hi. I'm looking to implement "Access Control Cards" in the apple wallet , that when attached to a supported reader, will open the door. I know that VAS (Value added services) protocol is not intended for that, and there is a new protocol called "Apple Access".

  1. Anyone knows where I can find the full documentation about this protocol and what are the Apple requirements to distribute and manage those passes.
  2. Anyone can refer me to company that has readers (hopefully with 26bit wiegand - so I can connect it to my controller) that support this Apple Access protocol?

You'd need an Apple Access certified reader, such as the Kisi Reader Pro: https://www.getkisi.com/products/reader

You can get it with an adapter for Wiegand cable.

Generally Apple Wallet for access control info and context can be found here: https://www.getkisi.com/guides/apple-wallet-access

Technically, you can use Apple VAS for NFC authentication. Can you explain why we can not use VAS for access control systems?
