The Digital Resident ID Card App provides towns and cities with a modern, secure, and convenient way to manage resident identification. Featuring in-app messaging, a scannable barcode, and in-app photo submissions, this system offers both town administrators and residents significant advantages over traditional forms of ID. Discover how both residents and town officials can leverage the power of digital ID cards to streamline processes and enhance community engagement.
How Town Administrators Can Benefit from Digital ID Cards
With the ID Management System, town administrators can remotely issue and manage digital credentials for their residents directly from any web browser. This secure and contactless solution ensures that only authorized individuals receive a digital ID card, eliminating the need for physical interactions and enhancing public health safety.
Key features include:
- Remote Card Issuance: Administrators can quickly issue or revoke digital ID cards for individuals or groups. This ensures controlled and secure access for residents across various town services.
- Automatic Expiration Management: The ID Management System allows admins to set automatic expiration dates for digital ID cards. Once expired, access is instantly revoked until a renewal is processed, making it a fully digital renewal process without the need for in-person visits.
- Multi-ID Functionality: Residents may require multiple IDs for various purposes, such as accessing the local pool or other amenities. Administrators can issue multiple recreation cards to residents’ digital ID card apps upon receiving payments, updating access instantly.
Improving Facility Security with Scannable Barcodes
The scannable barcode feature provides an extra layer of security for town facilities and events. By scanning the barcode on a resident’s digital ID card, administrators can efficiently track attendance at public meetings, local elections, and recreational facilities. This not only ensures accurate statistics but also enhances security by validating residents’ access to secure locations such as the town pool or community centers.
- Streamlined Access Control: Residents can present their barcode-enabled digital ID cards at event entrances or facility checkpoints, granting them quick access while maintaining security.
- Enhanced Attendance Tracking: For events such as town meetings or elections, the scannable barcode feature allows for quick and efficient tracking of residents, ensuring smooth operations.
How Residents Can Utilize Their Digital ID Cards
For residents, a digital ID card offers more than just proof of identity. It unlocks access to a range of local amenities and services, transforming how residents interact with their town.

Real-Time Alerts and Messages
Residents can receive real-time updates and notifications directly through the digital ID card app, allowing them to stay informed about important events such as:
- Facility Closures
- Card Expirations
- Emergency Alerts
These notifications are more effective and less intrusive than traditional SMS or email messages, offering a direct and reliable communication channel between town officials and residents.
In-App Photo Submission for Verification
Residents can securely submit a photo of themselves through the app, allowing administrators to verify their identity without the need for in-person visits. Administrators can approve or reject photos remotely, ensuring the integrity of each resident’s digital ID card. This streamlined process eliminates the need for residents to visit the town hall for photo updates or card printing, making the process entirely digital.
