The Mobile ID currently serves as a companion to the physical ID rather than a replacement. These movements verify that it really is you and not a photograph. The mobile app has built-in "liveness detection" technology: when taking a selfie to unlock the app, you are prompted to hold your phone still and move your head to connect randomly-generated dots on the screen. Could someone else use a photo to access my Mobile ID?
