About this app

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 Mobile ID, you should continue to carry your physical ID.

Had multiple issues with the app. I kept trying and eventually, everything worked. The app always had trouble scanning the back of my enhanced NY state drivers license, and taking the selfie. The app crashed and gave a reference code, but eventually, I was able to successfully register my information.

Amazing and Convenient! I recently forgot my physical driver’s license at home and got pulled over by the police. Thankfully, the NY MID app saved the day! I was able to quickly pull up my New York State digital driver’s license and show it to the officer without any issues. The process was seamless, and it completely eliminated the stress of not having my physical ID on me. One of the best features is the ability to register your fingerprint, making access to your license super fast and secure

Latest version doesn't crash anymore but fails with "failed to detect face" message. Trying not to take it as an insult, but having to restart the process all the way from the beginning is time consuming and annoying. So far after multiple tries it still can't detect my face. Update a few months later: app started crashing again and still fails to enroll
