According to the Des Moines Register, the state's Department of Transportation is aiming to next year provide a free app that will store your license, for use in traffic stops and any place else you're asked to provide your ID—even when boarding a plane at an Iowa airport. Such a venture would make Iowa the first state in the U.S. to provide digital identification documents. Iowa is one of several states that already allow for proof of insurance to be displayed on an electronic device.

That's great for flying out of Iowa.

I carry my insurance from progressive in a pdf form saved in the kindle app on my phone. I recently had to show it to a cop that pulled me over and he acted like it was perfectly fine.

This was in New Mexico but me, the truck's registration, and my insurance are from Louisiana.

So when you show it to a cop and he takes it to his car to run your name, is that consent to search your phone?

Meh.... Doesn't Iowa have a population of 43 people or something?

Also, I got pulled over the other day (got a warning, no ticket thank God for White Priv..); at first he asked for license, registration and proof of insurance.... gave him license and registration and was digging for proof of insurance (which was in upper console, not lower glove box), and cop came back and said, "don't worry about the insurance, I've already verified you (USAA)...... I'm thinking it is getting to the point that they know who we are and whether we are insured or not anyway.....

Couldn't you just take a pic of your DL and save it on your phone?

I showed my insurance on my phone one time. But I also said "Yes sir" to the female cop, so I still got the ticket...
