Mobile ID: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access your digital driver's license and resident card on your smartphone to simplify daily verification.
The Mobile ID is a digital version of your official identification that lives on your smartphone. It allows you to carry your driver's license or resident card electronically for easy verification.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to all citizens.
What you get
You receive a digital version of your driver's license or your resident card. This allows you to prove your identity through your mobile device rather than carrying physical plastic cards.
What it costs you
While there is no mentioned monetary fee, you will need to spend time visiting a local community center to complete the initial setup process.
The catch to know
Even though this is becoming the national standard, not all banks accept the mobile version for identification yet. You may still need your physical card for certain banking tasks.
How to apply
- Visit your local community center to complete the initial setup.
- Follow the instructions provided during your visit to link your identity to your device.
- Check with specific institutions, such as your bank, to ensure they support the digital version.
