Description
In today's connected world, Mobile ID offers a private, secure, contactless way to verify identity, either at home or on-the-go. Everything is on your phone – now your ID is, too!
Intuitive, easy-to-use and highly convenient, New York Mobile ID can be used anywhere it’s accepted, in any context a physical ID would be used – with enhanced privacy features. Only your Face ID, TouchID or six-digit pin will unlock the app and access your Mobile ID.
In five simple steps, you can create your New York 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 license or ID card
4. Follow the steps to capture a selfie
5. Set up app security and you’re good to go!
Please note: New York Mobile ID is an official state-issued ID, serving as a companion to your physical ID. As not all entities are able to verify a Mobile ID, you should continue to carry your physical ID.

Ratings and Reviews
Good idea questionable usability
It appears convenient to have my ID on my phone. However, the usability comes into question when someone is waiting for the information but the app requires an update and there’s no service. I wouldn’t want to rely on this solution if I was being stopped by the police. I would much prefer storing this in my Apple wallet.
I imagine waving my phone around trying to find signal for an irate officer with no patience.
“Yeah just trying to find signal. Ok just 10 minutes until the download completes.”
Totally useless
Downloaded the app. Went through the rigmarole of photographing front and back of the license, on several days and in several places. The app takes the photo whether you think it’s positioned and lighted correctly or not. Tried to game the camera and took multiple photos until at least readable. Then the app says Oops, error, start again. This happened repeatedly, over several days and in several places. With differing lighting conditions to try to make the app happy. Button for “Get Support” takes you to … a blank screen! Over and over and over.
Great work, NYS DMV! Totally non-functioning and useless.
No ID in Apple Wallet support
Apple supports a feature called IDs in Apple Wallet that is highly secure and preserves your privacy. That is not what this app is. The app can track when and where you use your digital license. Presenting an ID requires the phone to be fully unlocked which makes it vulnerable to data theft if the party that needs to see your ID has nefarious intent. Governor Hochul could have directed her DMV to support the Apple Wallet feature on iOS and instead spent taxpayer money with a private contractor to create this half-baked app-based solution. Do not use this app if you value your privacy.
