Mississippi Mobile ID is a contactless and convenient way to verify your identity from your phone. It offers layers of security and privacy controls, allowing you to control what information you share during a transaction. For instance, when buying age-restricted items, the app can confirm you are of legal age without having to share your birth date or address. The app is intuitive and easy-to-use, and it is unlocked by a selfie match to verify identity or by using a self-selected pin or TouchID/FaceID to protect your personal information.

To register for Mississippi Mobile ID, you need to follow five simple steps. First, download the app and set permissions. Second, verify access to your phone number. Third, use your device camera to scan the front and back of your driver’s license or ID card. Fourth, follow the app’s registration steps to take a selfie. Finally, set up app security, and you’re good to go! However, it is important to note that Mississippi Mobile ID is considered an state-issued ID, serving as a companion to your physical ID. Therefore, you should continue to carry your physical ID because not all entities are able to verify mID yet.

It is worth mentioning that Mississippi Mobile ID is a reliable and secure way to verify your identity. It is designed to protect your personal information, and it requires an Android 7 and newer. However, Android 10-based EMUI 10 devices are NOT supported. For more information about Mississippi Mobile ID, please visit www.dps.ms.gov/mobile-ID.
