Mobile ID rollout and adoption in Mississippi
Mississippi offers a digital ID through the Mississippi Mobile ID app. The app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Since its launch in June 2024, over 50,000 Mississippi residents have added their driver’s licenses or state IDs to their phones.
Where can the Mississippi mobile ID be used?
The Mississippi mobile ID is accepted at participating TSAs around the country, as well as participating retail locations.
While the state of Mississippi recognizes the Mississippi digital ID as an acceptable form of identification, it still requests that residents present a physical ID to law enforcement officers.
As digital ID use grows, and businesses get a better understanding of how to accept the new ID format, the state expects that the digital IDs will be able to fully replace a physical ID in the future.
How can businesses read/verify Mississippi mobile IDs?
Mississippi businesses can download the Mobile ID Verify App, which is capable of contactless reading of their mobile credential using NFC or QR code scanning. The app is available on both iOS and Android.
VeriScan for Windows with a Tap2ID mobile ID reader is capable of reading and verifying mobile IDs, including the Mississippi digital ID, and storing information alongside data from scanned physical IDs and passports.
