Iowa Mobile ID is a contactless, convenient way to verify your identity from your phone while providing layers of security and privacy controls. Iowa Mobile ID allows you to control what information you share during a transaction. For example, when buying age-restricted items, the app can confirm you are of legal age without having to share your birth date or address. Intuitive and easy-to-use, Mobile ID is unlocked by a selfie match to verify identity, or by using a self-selected pin or TouchID/FaceID so your personal information is always protected. In five simple steps, you can register for your Iowa mID: 1. Download the app and set permissions 2. Verify access to your phone number 3. Use your device camera to scan the front and back of your driver’s license or ID card 4. Follow the app’s registration steps to take a selfie 5. Set up app security and you’re good to go! Please note: Iowa Mobile ID is an official state-issued ID, serving as a companion to your physical ID. As not all entities are able to verify mID, you should continue to carry your physical ID. For more information, please visit: https://iowadot.gov/mobileid This app requires an iPhone 6s (iOS 14) or newer device.

Super easy to enroll and use

Enrollment was very quick and simple. App did a good job of prompting me through the process and explaining why the various steps were required. I feel like I have good control over what aspects of my ID are shared when requested in various situations (airport, store, etc).

Needs Apple Wallet Support

I like the idea of having my license on my phone, but I’m giving three stars because they failed to provide wallet support like some other states do. You keep your ID in your wallet. It shouldn’t be any different on your phone. The main use of mobile ID would be for purchases. It would be nice if it was right by my cards in my phone to speed up checkout times. I really really hope in the future they can make it work.EDIT: Turns out there are no plans to make it Apple Wallet compatible at this time. Leave it to this state to come up with something cool, and then ruin it. This isn’t that hard if Georgia can do it. Come on!Down to two stars.

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but it wasn’t difficult to set up at all and it’ll probably come in handy if I forget my ID. I would say probably try and face a light while you’re scanning your face. I hope this replaces physical IDs entirely!

Currently doesn’t work on iPhone 15 series

At the time of this writing the developers still haven’t made this app compatible with iPhone 15 series. I could do it on my 14 pro. Gets stuck scanning the ID and won’t focus. The app hasn’t been updated in over 3 months. Seems pretty neglecting for something as important as what they are trying to do here with mobile ID…. No wonder why Apple hasn’t approved this yet with so many bugs these developers are having issues with.
