Acceptance of the Mobile ID

Mobile IDs must be scanned to be verified and accepted. The current methods of scanning a 2D barcode or visually inspecting the physical card will not work with Virginia Mobile ID.

It’s up to your business or organization on how to verify a customer’s identity or age, as long as you remain compliant with applicable laws. Businesses are not required to accept mobile IDs or use the Virginia Mobile ID Verifier app or any other mobile verification app.
