"Iowa Launches Mobile ID App for Convenient Access"
Iowa's new mobile ID app is now available for download for Apple and Android users, although it cannot be used in the real world just yet. The Iowa Department of Transportation is soft-launching the app and plans to formally launch it in the next month. Businesses will need to download a separate app or system to verify the IDs, and users will have to check with businesses or look for the Iowa Mobile ID logo before using the app. The app is considered an acceptable form of ID by the state of Iowa and can be used in situations where a physical ID is required, but users are advised to keep their physical ID as a backup, especially for air travel.
