Why My Family ID is Essential For Your Family’s Safety

”One of the most amazing features is that there’s facial recognition. And there’s also a spot where you put the little kids’ fingerprints. [...] If somebody is taking your kid across the border, [authorities] already have all the information right there on the app that they can see.”

– Karen O’Bren Havourd

”I actually have a father with Alzheimer’s right now. This is the perfect application to store his fingerprints, recent photos, and facial recognition scans, which can then get out to the authorities, stores or places that that have CCTV. We can actually do a search through their systems to help us see if he wandered into a store.”

– Greg Fagan

How Digital Identification Can Help Find Missing Persons

December 03, 20243 min read

Emergencies aren’t the time to get organized; they’re the time to act. Yet many families don’t realize how much information is needed to assist law enforcement effectively—until it’s too late. My Family ID bridges that gap, ensuring you have everything you need at your fingertips to respond with clarity and confidence.

With digital identification, your preparedness isn’t scattered across filing cabinets, photo albums, and notebooks. It’s streamlined, secure, and accessible, giving you peace of mind in an otherwise overwhelming situation.

The Role of Digital Identification in Finding Missing Persons

Digital identification technology makes it easier to gather, store, and share the crucial details law enforcement and emergency responders need. My Family ID simplifies this process, allowing families to take proactive steps toward safety:

  • Biometric Data: Store fingerprints and facial scans for quick identification.

  • Health and Medical Data: Include critical medical information, like allergies or conditions, to support responders in providing care.

  • Emergency Contacts: Consolidate vital information in one place, ready to share with authorities.

These features remove guesswork during emergencies, giving families a way to act decisively when time is critical. Organizations dedicated to helping prevent and find missing children agree, digital identification is a critical piece of the puzzle when locating a missing child. 

“Quick access to identification details is part of the basics—it’s foundational. Having this information ready makes a huge difference when time is critical. These details can help law enforcement act swiftly and improve the chances of a safe return.”
- Joseph A. Travers, Founder, Saved In America
