Why This News Matters for Your Business

Mobile ID adoption is growing across New York, with hundreds of thousands of residents already using the system. 

The program gained momentum in the hospitality industry after the New York State Liquor Authority issued guidance on October 30 advising bars, restaurants, and other liquor license holders that MiD is acceptable for age verification.

Mobile IDs offer some practical advantages:

• Better Security: MiD uses encrypted data and gets verified in real-time by the New York State DMV, so you know the ID is legitimate.
• No Physical Contact: Scanning a QR code means you don’t need to handle someone’s device.
• Real-Time Updates: If someone’s license gets suspended or their information changes, the mobile ID updates automatically.
• Extra Verification Option: Mobile ID gives you another way to verify customers alongside your current ID verification methods.
  

New York MiD Program Benefits

When you join the MiD-Verifiers program, you get:

• Free Website Listing: New York State DMV lists your business as an early adopter
• Customer Recognition: The stickers show customers you accept newer verification technology
• Faster Service: Quicker ID verification can mean shorter wait times

How IDScanner Can Help

New York’s Mobile ID system uses QR codes instead of traditional barcode scanning, but businesses using ID Scanner equipment can still benefit from accepting Mobile IDs as part of their verification process.

Mobile ID works well alongside existing ID scanning operations like our IDVisor Smart V2, IDVisor Smart Plus, and AgeVisor 3. 

Using both technologies covers you whether customers show up with physical or digital identification.

If you’re a New York business owner, consider joining the MiD-Verifiers program now rather than waiting.
