How to scan an ID card or driver's license on iPhone

Rental agencies, landlords and employers often ask for a copy of your ID. ScanMojo's ID mode crops to the card, takes the front and then the back, and keeps the result locked behind Face ID on your iPhone.

  1. 1

    Choose ID under the viewfinder

    A card-shaped frame appears, sized like a standard ID or driver's license.

  2. 2

    Fit the front in the frame

    Place the card on a plain surface and line it up. ScanMojo captures it and crops to the card.

  3. 3

    Turn it over for the back

    The camera asks for the back next and saves both sides together.

  4. 4

    Find it in IDs

    The scan is kept in the IDs folder, which opens only with Face ID or your passcode.

Printing a copy with both sides

Many forms ask for a photocopy of your ID with both sides on one page. With ScanMojo Pro, share the ID as Photocopy (PDF) to get the front and back on one Letter or A4 page, at real size, ready to print.

Sending an ID safely

An ID scan is exactly what identity thieves want. Send it only to people who need it, over a channel you trust, and consider password-protecting the PDF (a Pro feature) so it's useless if it's forwarded.

Questions

Are my ID scans uploaded anywhere?

No. They stay on your iPhone, locked behind Face ID in the IDs folder.

Can I scan a credit card or insurance card the same way?

Yes. ID mode fits any standard-size card, including insurance and membership cards.
