Through a partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the New York Mobile ID (MiD) will be accepted at TSA security checkpoints at nearly 30 participating airports across the country including all terminals at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports. This will allow New Yorkers to verify their identity easily and securely for airport security screening.
How to Get a New York Mobile ID
New Yorkers can get a New York MiD in a few simple steps:
- Download the New York MiD app from the App Store or through Google Play.
- Register the phone number of the device the Mobile ID will be on. An individual’s Mobile ID can only be on one device at a time to help protect their identity.
- Take a picture of the front and back of their physical ID (driver license, non-driver ID, or Learner Permit), using their phone’s camera.
- Pose for a selfie. The app checks your photo and ID against information on file with the DMV to ensure you are who you say you are.
- Once your information is verified, your MiD is active and ready to use wherever it is accepted.
Watch a step-by-step guide on how to enroll. All of the attributes on an individual’s physical ID, like their document type (REAL ID, Enhanced ID or Standard ID) and class (D, E, Commercial A, B, or C, etc.), and other attributes like organ donor status, veteran status, and lifetime hunting or fishing permits will all be available in the New York MiD app and can be shared with a verifier whenever a New York MiD holder agrees to share their personal information.
The New York MiD serves as a companion to a physical ID, and not all businesses or stakeholders will initially accept mobile IDs, so New Yorkers should always continue to carry their physical driver’s license or ID.
Thank you to the Town of Eastchester and the Parks & Recreation Department for working with the CHCA on this project.

The Chester Heights Gazebo
by Carmine Sarno
Alas over the past few years weather and time have taken a toll on the wooden structure which was originally placed around autumn of 2002. The CHCA team have been petitioning the town to repair/renovate the gazebo as it has become a community landmark and gathering place for such events as the annual Christmas Tree lighting, the annual community family picnic among other things.
Well, we have great news, The Gazebo is being replaced by the town. The community will soon be hosting a summer concert in the green space and after all we want to look our best for visitors to the community as well as ourselves.
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the origins of the Gazebo as it didn’t just come to be.
In the 1990s and early 2000’s the community had a leader who helped set the tone and example for those who would follow. Leon Waskiewicz was a beloved husband and father and longtime resident of Chester Heights. He served as a Tuckahoe School Board member and President for 2 Years and President of our Chester Heights Civic Association for 13 Years! He gave effortlessly for the good of all in the community with no agenda. He led the way with such events as the community picnic we know today.
Leon was suddenly taken from his family and all of us on March 4, 2002, at the age of 46. Writing this I recall fondly his gentle nature and willingness to help unconditionally. The town placed the gazebo in honor of Leon in late 2002. A plaque made to commemorate it was never placed because Leon, ever quiet and unassuming, would have wanted it that way.
Some 22 years later it’s important to remember people like Leon Waskiewicz. His legacy to Chester Heights continues to live on at the gazebo that silently honors him.
So, here’s to Leon and our wonderful community and community leaders that continue to follow in the shadow of our past leaders like Leon Waskiewicz.

Voting during early voting is the same as voting on Election Day. When you get to the early voting center, you will check in to vote, receive your ballot and vote as any other election.
There will be instructions available at the early voting centers to familiarize you with the ballot. There will also be a notice to voter and bill of rights. You may ask an election inspector to explain how to vote, or if you need any assistance.
If you vote during the early voting period, you are not eligible to vote on Election Day.
