Features & Capabilities

Kentucky Mobile ID is a private, secure, contactless way to verify your identity on your phone, usable anywhere an ID is accepted. It uses biometric or PIN protection so only your Face ID, Touch ID, or a six-digit PIN can unlock and reveal your Mobile ID.

Getting started is simple: download the app, verify your phone number, scan the front and back of your driver license or ID card, capture a selfie, and enable app security. Note that Kentucky Mobile ID is a state-issued ID that serves as a companion to your physical ID; not all entities can verify it, so you should continue carrying your physical ID.

User Reviews

User feedback is mixed. Some report easy registration and successful ID capture, with a path toward Apple Wallet. However, many reviews highlight serious usability problems: blur/focus errors on front and back captures, auto-capture with no manual control, repeated scanning failures requiring restarts, and a clunky UX from lens limitations. Several call the app not ready for prime time and note inconsistent performance across devices. A few users prefer sticking with the physical ID until significant improvements are made.
Pros
  • Some users report easy registration and successful initial ID capture on the first try.
  • Described as an official state ID app with potential Apple Wallet integration.
  • Selfie verification can work after a few attempts and is similar to Face ID.
  • A subset of reviews say the app looks fine and works fairly well, with quick transitions.
Cons
  • Blur/focus issues prevent capturing the ID (front and back) with frequent 'blur detected' messages.
  • Repeated scanning failures and restarts; many users cannot complete enrollment.
  • Auto-capture with no manual control and camera limitations (no zoom, main lens only) degrade photo quality and UX.
  • Not clearly or currently integrated with Apple Wallet; steps to add to Wallet are unclear or unavailable.
  • Inconsistent performance across devices and sentiment that the app is not ready for prime time.

Whoever wrote the code for this needs to be fired, how the hell do you connect dots with your knows? Instructed not to wear glasses but for those with glasses we can’t read the instructions on the screen. Completely useless app.

Followed the instructions and was able to register on the first try. Not sure at his point how many businesses or organizations will recognize it but should catch on eventually.

Can’t even add my license to the app. It won’t stabilize the photo, keeps calling it blurry or not close enough and then once you finally get the front to scan your supposed to flip it over and go through the same mess to get the back to scan and once you think it’s finally scanning it fails and you have to start over only for it to screw up all 3 times and then you get kicked because of the security placed on the app. App is a joke and doesn’t work correctly from the start. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS JOKE OF AN APP! Just put your license or ID in your wallet and put it in your pocket like we’ve done forever instead of dealing with a headache of an app like this is.
