The Responder ID App is a digital ID wallet used by first responders to store their digital responder ID cards issued by their institution. In order to use this app and store your Responder ID card on your mobile device, you must receive a digital ID card invitation from your institution. If your institution is not registered with us and you would like to use this app, please have them contact us. First responders can now quickly and securely prove their standing as first responders and their qualifications onsite in a disaster response operating environment. In addition, First responders and family members can be issued Responder ID cards to access benefits provided by the issuing institution or by the local community they serve. First responders can also opt-in to receive messages, updates, and other important information from their issuing authority through this app. Haven’t received a digital ID card invitation? Ask your issuing authority to issue you a digital Responder ID card through the Responder ID App (https://www.id123.io).
