Child ID app for Apple and Android

The FBI now has a Child ID app for Apple IOS and Android Devices. The app provides parents with an easy way to electronically store their children’s pictures and vital information to have on hand in case their kids go missing. 

The application, which works on most Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, allows users to store up-to-date images and physical descriptions—like height, weight, birthmarks, etc.—that could help responders in the event of an emergency. The information is stored only on your device and not with your mobile provider or the FBI.

The Child ID App also includes helpful tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing.
