Mobile ID rollout and adoption in Montana
The Montana mobile ID is offered through multiple wallets:
- Montana ID in Apple Wallet
- Montana ID in Google Wallet
Where can the Montana mobile ID be used?
The Montana mobile ID is accepted at participating TSAs around the country.
The Montana digital ID is also valid at all participating businesses, both in store and online.
This new Montana ID format is also accepted at participating MVD exam stations equipped with check-in kiosks.
Since the new Montana mobile ID is not currently accepted everywhere, Montanans should continue to carry their physical ID while more businesses and law enforcement officers get used to the new format. The Montana Highway Patrol anticipates being able to verify mobile IDs before the end of 2025.
How can businesses read/verify Montana mobile IDs?
In order to read/verify Montana mobile IDs, businesses and government entities will need to use a compatible app and/or scanner that is capable of reading the encrypted data.
VeriScan for Windows with a Tap2ID mobile ID reader is capable of reading and verifying mobile IDs, including the Montana digital ID, and storing information alongside data from scanned physical IDs and passports.
