What is a First Responder ID Card?
First responder ID cards are issued by organizations such as fire departments, police stations, and emergency management teams. These cards can be used by first responders to show their affiliation with their respective organizations in order to access discounts and benefits provided by the local communities they serve. First responders no longer need to rely on their plastic identification cards alone. Instead, first responders can quickly display their first responder digital ID cards on their mobile devices. Each card also includes a Verified Credential, a barcode that rotates automatically, so a first-responder credential can’t be spoofed at a checkpoint or scene.
First Responder Discounts & Benefits
First responders often have access to benefits provided by their organization and local community. By issuing ID cards to first responders they are able to show their active or veteran status and receive associated first responder discounts and benefits.
Responder ID card benefits may include:
Professional
Development
Discounts at Affiliated Locations
Networking
Opportunities
Display Veteran
Status’
Training Verification
With the digital Responder ID Card, up to 16 card fields can be customized to display each first responder’s completed training and certification programs, serving as verification from the first responder organization that training or certification is completed. As first responders complete additional certifications, admins from the organization can update first responders’ digital cards without having to issue new credentials.
Manage Digital First Responder ID Cards from Anywhere
Administrators from first responder organizations can send card invitations via email individually or to a group in bulk. Once a first responder receives the card invitation email, they can easily install and store their digital ID cards within the Responder ID App. Responders can also generate a secure PDF Proof of their digital ID right from the app, useful when handing a proof copy to incident command instead of a phone screen. After installation, administrators can remotely activate, deactivate, and update card information from anywhere using the cloud-based ID Management System (IDMS).
