The Delaware Mobile ID app will allow Delaware’s 800,000+ licensed drivers and ID cardholders to use their smartphones to manage their identity like never before.
IDEMIA today launched the new Delaware Mobile ID in partnership with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Mobile ID is also a significant step forward in the fight against identity theft due to several security features. Specifically, it requires users to capture and upload their physical ID as well as a live selfie to compare against the individual’s file with the DMV. After approval, users unlock the app using their face or fingerprint, ensuring only they can access their ID.
In addition to safeguards to open the app, Mobile ID offers privacy control options that allow the user to verify they are of legal age to rent a car or purchase alcohol, while hiding unnecessary information such as the user’s address.
Businesses and organizations will also benefit from Mobile ID technology. The app allows them to verify necessary information with confidence since it only displays the most up-to-date version and status provided by the DMV.
“IDEMIA is proud to work with Delaware to bring a secure identification option to the fingertips of its citizens,” said Matt Thompson, senior vice president, Civil and Mobile ID of IDEMIA. “This technology is a look into the future of identity solutions, and Delaware is a trailblazer as one of the first states to roll out this technology.”
Delaware is the second state to roll out IDEMIA’s Mobile ID technology, joining Oklahoma. The technology will soon be available in other states, as well.
