IDEMIA Public Security North America has announced a partnership with My Family ID to launch a new digital ID solution aimed at enhancing child safety. The My Family ID app, now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, allows families to create digital IDs and capture their children’s fingerprints using touchless technology via a smartphone app.
The app features facial recognition and fingerprinting capabilities, enabling parents to maintain comprehensive safety profiles for their children. These profiles include important personal details such as the child’s name, date of birth, physical characteristics, and relevant medical information. In the event of an emergency, parents can generate a PDF of the safety profile to share with law enforcement, facilitating a rapid response.
Charles Still, Retired Juvenile Detective and creator of My Family ID, highlighted the app’s practicality in helping law enforcement and parents manage situations involving missing or runaway children. IDEMIA’s involvement stems from its commitment to developing technologies that enhance public safety, as noted by Donnie Scott, CEO of IDEMIA Public Security North America. The app’s focus on privacy ensures that all data and images are encrypted and stored only on the user’s device, securing sensitive information.
This initiative follows IDEMIA’s recent selection as one of the 15 technology providers working with The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence on integrating mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) into financial services, addressing challenges related to cybersecurity and privacy.
