State officials say more than 200,000 New Yorkers have signed up for Mobile ID — the digital version of a state-issued driver's license, learner permit or ID on a smartphone.

“We’re thrilled that more than 200,000 New Yorkers have embraced this revolutionary technology that enables secure, contactless identification right from your phone,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement. “Whether you want to get through airport security or order an alcoholic beverage, Mobile ID is raising the bar on the way New Yorkers can verify their age and identity, offering greater convenience and privacy.”

Originally announced in June 2024 by the New York state Department of Motor Vehicles, officials say Mobile ID is accepted at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints at more than 100 airports nationwide, including LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy, Syracuse Hancock, and Stewart International airports. Bars, restaurants and other businesses with liquor licenses across New York can also accept Mobile ID as of last October.

The app can only be unlocked through Face ID, TouchID or a six-digit PIN.

You can learn more about Mobile ID on the state DMV website.
