Iowa Mobile ID is a contactless, convenient way to verify your identity from your phone while providing layers of security and privacy controls. Iowa Mobile ID allows you to control what information you share during a transaction. For example, when buying age-restricted items, the app can confirm you are of legal age without having to share your birth date or address. Intuitive and easy-to-use, Mobile ID is unlocked by a selfie match to verify identity, or by using a self-selected pin or TouchID/FaceID so your personal information is always protected. In five simple steps, you can register for your Iowa mID: 1. Download the app and set permissions 2. Verify access to your phone number 3. Use your device camera to scan the front and back of your driver’s license or ID card 4. Follow the app’s registration steps to take a selfie 5. Set up app security and you’re good to go! Please note: Iowa Mobile ID is an official state-issued ID, serving as a companion to your physical ID. As not all entities are able to verify mID, you should continue to carry your physical ID.

Breaks when you get a new phone
Worked great first. Then I got a new phone and have not been able to get it to work ever again. Have tried contacting support, deleting app and redownloading, etc. to no avail.
Broken
Can’t even set it up. I verify my phone number and then get an error message when trying to scan. Useless app. Deleted.
It worked until it didn’t.
Initial set up was good, and it worked fine for a while. But then I started getting error messages. As of yet I have not been able to get help from anyone to get it running again. Would like to have it working again, but…
Was great at first
This app was great in the beginning. After a recent update it will not let me in. It
Garbage
I’ve tried to get my information set up in it multiple times and keep getting error codes. This app is worthless
Worthless
The first time using this was at the TSA security checkpoint at the Des Moines airport. Doing so delayed the officer clearing me through stating the software has trouble communicating with the database and ultimately required the use of my physical. DL. The digital DL concept will only work when it can be accepted and used via the Apple wallet app.
Broken
This app is the reason why government entities should not try to do it themselves to avoid the system Apple put in place. App was clumsy to set up. Got it to work eventually, then when I really needed it, it broke. Lost in an endless error loop that is unreconsilable.
Squished some bugs.
