What you need to know about the Arizona Mobile ID
The Arizona Mobile ID (mID) is a voluntary, secure, digitized version of your ADOT MVD-issued driver license or ID card that you carry in an app on your smartphone.
Because mID is a new technology, you should continue to carry your physical ID with you because not all entities are able to verify mobile ID yet. MVD urges people to always carry their physical ID when driving so it can be used in interactions with law enforcement during traffic stops or incidents.
MVD will continue to issue physical, plastic credentials and use of mID is voluntary.
More details about the Arizona Mobile ID can be found in this FAQ.

How do I use my Arizona Mobile ID?
1. Can I see some ID?
Pull up your ID on your phone. Show the screen with your driver license on it ("IDs"), or the home ("Me") screen.
If needed, you can authenticate your Mobile ID by selecting "Certify." This will display a rotating emblem that follows your finger while moving across the screen.
2. "Can I scan your ID?""
1. Display the barcode from the back of your ID as it's shown under "IDs."
-OR-
2. Go to the "Me" screen and tap "Generate Privacy Code" to display a bar code only view.
3. "Can I scan your Mobile ID QR code"?
1. Open the Mobile ID app.
2. Go to the "Me"/home screen.
3. Tap the "Share" icon next to "Generate privacy code."
4. Present the QR code for scanning to initiate the connection with the verifying device.
5. Accept (or Decline) the request to share information under "IDs."
Privacy Views
When you want to order a drink at a restaurant, the server doesn't need to know your birth date, weight, eye color or address. They only need to know you're of legal age.
Privacy views allow you to share only relevant information.
Access privacy views by tapping on the arrow next to "Full information" at the top of the home screen.
Select a privacy view, e.g. Prove my age.
If you tap Generate privacy code, the barcode that shows up contains only the information from the privacy view, in this case you're 21+.
