If I bring my wife's old iPhone to the Apple Store, can I buy a new phone for her? She cannot travel to the store.

Yes, it is.

The key is to nominally bring your wife's device as yours, trade it in, and purchase the new device yourself.

That way, you'll only need to verify your identity before you can trade it in and purchase the new device.

They should also be able to help you transfer data from old device and set it up.

To do this, you need to know the passcode and Apple account password so that you can control your wife's device.
