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.
