E’ disponibile negli store Apple e Google la nuova versione dell'app iPatente. Tale nuova versione, oltre al completo ridisegno delle interfacce, migliora il processo di accreditamento ai servizi offerti dal Portale dell'Automobilista (www.ilportaledellautomobilista.it) ed implementa ulteriori funzioni finalizzate ad innovare e semplificare il colloquio tra il cittadino e la Motorizzazione. Infatti, sarà possibile attivare un servizio di notifica che segnalerà la prossima scadenza della patente, eventuali variazioni di punteggio della stessa a seguito di infrazioni commesse, la scadenza della revisione, oltre a tante altre informazioni utili e sempre disponibili come, ad esempio, i dati caratteristici delle imbarcazioni da diporto intestate con tutte le scadenze d'interesse. Coerentemente all'avanzamento di tale processo di digitalizzazione, verranno progressivamente dismesse tutte le altre comunicazioni di carattere informativo, attualmente ancora recapitate per via postale.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iliad holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iliad has 60 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of iPatente's written reviews are positive against 33% of iliad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iPatente ships an update every 2 months, iliad fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
