MiDdoes not replace your physical license, permit, or non-driver ID. Not all businesses accept MiD, so you must continue to bring your physical driver license, permit, or non-driver ID card with you and use it wherever MiD is not accepted.
The app enrollment process involves taking a picture of the front and back of your most recently issued physical license, permit or non-driver ID card. If you do not have an ID card or it is not easy to read, you must request and receive a new ID card before you can get MiD. See Driver License or Non-driver ID Cards for more information.
The minimum phone requirement is an Android 7 or newer or an iPhone 6 or newer. You cannot download MiD on a smartphone that is jailbroken or rooted, meaning the software has been changed to remove restrictions or limitations placed there by the manufacturer. You must enable Face ID or Touch ID and set your region to the United States.
You can only activate MiD on one device. If you have multiple compatible devices like a smartphone and a tablet, you can only download the app on one device at a time. You can download the app onto your new device if you get a new smartphone. The app will deactivate on the old device.
We want to know about your experience enrolling in New York MiD. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve MiD. This survey is completely optional and will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
New York MiD can be used the same ways you use your ID today to verify your age or identity. Now, with MiD, you have full control over the information you share with an MiD verifier. MiD is not just a picture of your physical license, permit, or non-driver ID. It cannot be accepted by visually showing the app to a verifier.
Once the secure, encrypted channel is created between the devices, the verifier will send a request to your smartphone for what identity data they wish to verify. Before any data is provided to the verifier, you must give your approval to release the requested identity data to the verifier. When any data is approved and shared by you, included in what is provided to the verifier is an encrypted key signature that allows the verifier to know the mobile ID was issued by the NYS DMV and can be trusted. You do not need to hand over your phone to present your MiD.
You can use MiD anywhere it is accepted including in other states and countries. Not all businesses accept MiD. Look for the New York MiD logo on a window or door of a business or ask if they accept it.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) accepts MiD at select airport terminals around the country. Find more information on which locations accept MiD and how the TSA is moving forward with digital initiatives.
The MiD app verifies the information on the document you upload to the app and checks your selfie against the photo and information on file with the DMV. Only your Face ID, Touch ID, or 6-digit PIN can unlock the app to gain access to your MiD. If your smartphone is lost or stolen, no one else can access your MiD app.
The mobile driver's license (mDL) is the future of licensing and proof of identity. An mDL is a driver's license that is provisioned to a mobile device with the capability to be updated in real time. It is comprised of the same data elements that are used to produce a physical driver's license, however, the data is transmitted electronically to a relying party's reader device and authenticated. The mDL is a significant improvement over physical credentials which can easily be lost or stolen, become broken or damaged, contain outdated information, offer too much information (including personally identifiable information), and can more easily be replicated by counterfeiters. The mDL offers safe, secure, and trustable technologies that allow for completely touchless transactions, selective information release, data protection, and so much more.
AAMVA's mDL Digital Trust Service (DTS) is the system that supports all member jurisdictions in delivering successful mDL programs to their stakeholders. Providing a single, safe, secure, and resilient means through which relying parties can easily obtain the public keys of each issuing authority will drive the success of mobile driver license programs.

AAMVA is leading the mDL efforts in North America and works closely with its counterparts across the world to ensure resources are available to implement successful solutions and to support the framework and ecosystem that will be necessary to achieve global interoperability and acceptance. AAMVA is actively involved in both domestic and international standardization efforts surrounding the mDL.
AAMVA's Card Design Standard Subcommittee and Electronic Identity Subcommittee together form the Joint mDL Subcommittee which serves as the voice for jurisdictions in this rapidly evolving topic.

A new FMCSA rule restricts the use of all hand-held mobile devices by drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). This rulemaking restricts a CMV driver from holding a mobile device to make a call, or dialing by pressing more than a single button. CMV drivers who use a mobile phone while driving can only use a hands-free phone located in close proximity.
Research commissioned by FMCSA shows that the odds of being involved in a safety-critical event (e.g., crash, near-crash, unintentional lane deviation) are 6 times greater for CMV drivers who engage in dialing a mobile phone while driving than for those who do not. Dialing drivers took their eyes off the forward roadway for an average of 3.8 seconds. At 55 mph (or 80.7 feet per second), this equates to a driver traveling 306 feet, the approximate length of a football field, without looking at the roadway!
Physically handing over your driver's license or state ID is a thing of the past. Your information is presented digitally to the identity reader, so you'll never need to show or hand over your device.
Maryland Mobile ID is a voluntary, secure, digitized version of your MDOT MVA-issued driver's license (DL) or identification card (ID) available in the Apple Wallet app on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Maryland Mobile ID offers even more security and privacy benefits than the physical state ID or driver's license because Marylanders get to review the personal information they share with others and use biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID to authorize it. Maryland Mobile ID on iPhone and Apple Watch is currently the ONLY form of mobile phone-based identification that is recognized by MDOT MVA and it is only available to individuals that have a current, valid Maryland-issued driver's license or ID card.
Maryland Mobile ID is voluntary and serves as a companion to your physical, plastic Driver's License/ Identification Card - it is not yet a replacement of the physical card, and you must continue to carry your physical Driver's License/Identification Card with you.
At this time Maryland Mobile ID is only accepted at select airport terminals around the country. Accepting airports are determined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Please visit TSA.gov for the most up to date support for Maryland Mobile ID.
In time, Maryland Mobile ID in Apple Wallet can be used by any business, government entity, or law enforcement agency to verify a person's identity -- the same way your physical Driver's License/Identification Card is used to verify your identity. Because this technology is new, many businesses and organizations may not be aware of how to use it and may not have developed a process to accept Maryland Mobile ID yet, so customers should continue to always carry their physical Driver's License/Identification Card.
Maryland Mobile ID on iPhone and Apple Watch takes full advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch and also offers increased security and privacy benefits a physical ID card can't match. Unlike physical ID cards, state IDs and driver's licenses in Wallet present only the information needed for the interaction, and the user has the opportunity to review and authorize the information being requested before it is shared.
Maryland Mobile ID on iPhone and Apple Watch is implemented using international standards. In time, Maryland Mobile ID in Apple Wallet can be used by any participating business, government entity, or law enforcement agency to verify a person's identity -- the same way your physical Driver's License/Identification Card is used to verify your identity. Because this technology is new, many businesses and organizations may not be aware of how to use it and may not have developed a process to accept Maryland Mobile ID yet.
If you wish to remove Maryland Mobile ID from your iPhone or Apple Watch, you may delete the pass directly from your Apple device. In the Apple Wallet app, select your driver's license or state-issued ID.
The State of Maryland pledges to provide constituents, businesses, customers, and stakeholders with friendly and courteous, timely and responsive, accurate and consistent, accessible and convenient, and truthful and transparent services.
So does mine. Since you are not technical (as you say), do not try to be. By trying to be, you create a bigger problem. And, you should NEVER use a 3rd party driver site as you NEVER know what country is collecting your information and what payload your downloads may contain.
