Mobile ID Verify by IDEMIA scans and verifies digital identity credentials such as mobile driver’s licenses (mDL) and state-issued Mobile IDs (mID) as well scans US State-issued IDs (DL and ID). The Mobile ID Verify app is used by businesses and relying parties to check digital IDs and display relevant identity information in a convenient and organized fashion to support transactions with consumers. How it works: 1. When ready to scan an ID, open the app and click the button “I'm ready to scan”. 2. Hover the mobile device camera over a mobile ID digital barcode or the QR Code. 3. Once the ID has been scanned, identity information will be displayed for review. 4. Results can be dismissed by tapping the “DONE” button. Data is deleted and no data is stored on the verifier’s device. Key Features: * Scan and verify digital Mobile ID (mID/mDL) credentials * Contactless scanning does not require touching consumer phones * Quickly verify the age of a customer via customizable settings to meet regulatory needs (e.g. 18+ for tobacco products or 21+ for liquor) * Scan QR Codes on Mobile IDs to validate authenticity and inspect attributes * Fully offline (device-to-device) scanning and validation with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) data transfer * Adheres to ISO-18013 standard ensuring secure and trusted transactions to help eliminate fraud FAQs Q: What can I do with this App? A: This app can be used to validate the authenticity of a Mobile ID (mID) or Mobile Driver’s License (mDL) so that you have the confidence that the person conducting the transaction is who they say they are. The app operates in a convenient, contactless manner without having to handle physical ID cards. Q: How is an identity verified? A: There are a couple ways to initiate an identity verification. Scanning a PDF417 barcode on a Mobile ID or physical identity card will immediately display the credential’s data, or scanning a QR code on the Mobile ID requests a set of attributes from the Mobile ID. Q: How are verification transactions secured? A: Verification transactions initiated by a QR code scan are 100% secure through the use of device authentication and data encryption giving full trust and assurance that the data received is accurate. Q: Who developed this App? A: Mobile ID Verify was developed by IDEMIA, the #1 issuer of physical driver’s licenses in the U.S. and pioneer of Mobile ID (mID), a government issued digital ID. IDEMIA is the global leader in Augmented Identity, provides a trusted environment enabling citizens and consumers alike to perform their daily critical activities (such as pay, connect, and travel), in the physical as well as the digital space.
