Kentucky Mobile ID is a secure digital version of your driver’s license or state ID, stored in an app on your smartphone. It ensures privacy by keeping data only on your device and the state system. With contactless verification and real-time updates, it offers a convenient and reliable way to manage your identity.

Mobile ID can be used in any context in which you would use your physical ID to verify your age or identity. A merchant can choose to physically verify the Mobile ID by identifying your birthdate from the rendered license under the “ID” tab. The moving portrait and the “Certify” emblem are added security features that allow the verifier to know it is not a screenshot.

Under the “ID” tab, a verifier is able to scan the back of the driver’s license, because the barcodes are the same. Just like your physical card, only the information on your driver’s license is shown.

A merchant can also verify Mobile ID by using the free “Mobile ID Verify App,” available in the App Store or Google Play. By scanning the QR code produced by the mID (tap the “Share” icon next to “Generate Privacy Code” on the “Me” tab), a Bluetooth connection is made and a request will be sent to your Mobile ID to either accept or deny sharing your information with the verifying party.
