You know the digital age is upon us when you start seeing states replacing physical IDs with mobile applications. While this is not a widespread practice quite yet, we are moving in that direction, and New York State is among the first to implement such a solution. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the availability of the New York Mobile ID app.
The New York Mobile ID app is a “highly secure digital version” of your state identification. It is available to all New York State residents with a driver’s license, learner’s permit, or ID. It’s also available for both Android and iOS users.
