Iowans can now securely and conveniently access their Iowa Mobile ID from their Google Wallet.
RESTON, Va., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IDEMIA Public Security North America, the leading provider of secure and trusted biometric-based solutions, is excited to continue their collaboration with the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to support its first launch of mobile IDs into Google Wallet.
With the launch of Iowa mobile ID in Google Wallet, Iowans can now conveniently and securely store their mobile ID in their Google Wallet and present it at TSA checkpoints — including the Des Moines and Eastern Iowa Airports, as well as participating businesses and venues for identity checks or age-restricted purchases. New in-app, online, and in person use cases are on the way in collaboration with Google’s strong partner ecosystem.
Iowans can securely add their Iowa driver’s license or state ID in Google Wallet by opening the Google Wallet App, selecting Add to Wallet and ID Card, and following the on-screen instructions. Iowans can also continue to use the free Iowa Mobile ID app, launched and built by IDEMIA in October 2023, to access their mobile ID.
As IDEMIA’s first mobile ID technology launch in Google Wallet to-date, the launch of Iowa mobile ID in Google Wallet demonstrates IDEMIA’s commitment to advancing mobile ID technology and offering security and convenience to state residents across the country.
“We are proud to once again continue our partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to offer their residents even more security and convenience through Google Wallet. As IDEMIA’s first launch of mobile IDs in Google Wallet to date, I grow even more excited about the future of mobile ID technology and how accessible we can continue to make mobile ID for state residents across the country,” shared Rob Gardner, CEO, IDEMIA Civil Identity.
Google Wallet puts the user in control of their digital identity, allowing users to seamlessly and securely verify their identity or age online and in person. Digital ID data is stored encrypted, and information is only shared after review and authentication from the user.
