Mobile ID holders
Meet your Mobile ID
Iowa Mobile ID is not a digital image of your state-issued identification, it is a fully interactive identity solution providing additional convenience, security, and privacy.
You will still be issued a physical card. Once Iowa Mobile ID is available, you will have the option to activate the mobile ID app and use it at participating locations.
Convenience
Prove your identity and pay for your purchases from the same device at participating locations. ID check is quick, easy, and contactless.
Security
A trusted, government-issued digital identity that is safer than carrying your ID in your wallet. Fingerprint or face unlocking means only you can access the app and your data. In addition, your mobile ID includes additional security and encryption features to help protect against fraud.
Privacy
Your data is only stored on the DOT’s system of record and your device.
Privacy views allow you to verify your age without having to expose sensitive data like your birth date, height, or address. You choose the information you want to share.
