Mississippi Mobile ID

About this app

Including layers of security and privacy controls, Mississippi Mobile ID is a contactless, convenient way to verify your identity from your phone.

Mississippi Mobile ID allows you to control what information you share during a transaction. For example, when buying age-restricted items, the app can confirm you are of legal age without having to share your birth date or address.

Intuitive and easy-to-use, Mobile ID is unlocked by a selfie match to verify identity, or by using a self-selected pin or TouchID/FaceID so your personal information is always protected.

In five simple steps, you can register for your Mississippi mID:

1. Download the app and set permissions
2. Verify access to your phone number
3. Use your device camera to scan the front and back of your driver’s license or ID card
4. Follow the app’s registration steps to take a selfie
5. Set up app security and you’re good to go!

Please note: Mississippi Mobile ID is considered an official state-issued ID, serving as a companion to your physical ID. Please continue to carry your physical ID because not all entities are able to verify mID yet.

This app requires an Android 7 and newer. Android 10-based EMUI 10 devices are NOT supported.

Ratings and reviews

It's fairly easy to setup and works with the lottery machines for age verification. It's abit slow on both WiFi and 5G. But the big issue for me is the app is a 1 to One - you can have it running on one device only. If the app/technology is so secure then it's facial recognition should be able to identify me whether I'm using a IOS(Apple) or Android. There's many who have multiple mobile devices for work, backup, hotspot, child pacifier or some other reasons.

While not perfect, this app does work. I've seen a lot of complaints that the confirmation text they send you doesn't work, and for me it was also true. Clicking the link opened up my browser on my phone, for me that's Firefox, and it failed to load. However, I tried opening Firefoxs options menu and selected "Open in app" and it loaded the link inside the Mobile ID app automatically, and verified my identity. The app also continuously crashes if it doesn't have full permissions to your camera.

I downloaded the app, got everything set up, then it told me my ID was locked. I wasn't able to use it at all. What is the purpose for locking my ID? I tried repeatedly to unlock it with the face point checker or whatever it is but then it would say tried to many times, try again in 24 or 48 hours. That's dumb. The app is pointless. Uninstalled. Hope y'all fix it but until then I'll have to stick to the old fashioned way.
