MIDentity Driver

The MIDentity driver enables Windows to communicate with the Kobil MIDentity USB device so compatible software can recognize and use it. If you are setting up the device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting an unrecognized USB connection, you may need to install the appropriate driver.

Key Features

• USB device communication: Provides the driver support needed for Windows and compatible applications to interact with the Kobil MIDentity.
• Windows compatibility: Supported operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows release and system architecture.
• Device recognition: Installing the correct package can help resolve detection problems caused by a missing or incompatible driver.
• Reinstallation and maintenance: Lets you restore the driver after a system change or update an existing installation when a suitable newer release is available.

How to Install MIDentity Driver

1. Check your Windows version and system type. Confirm whether your computer uses a 32-bit or 64-bit edition before selecting a package. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported; Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your MIDentity driver download for Windows, review the supported operating systems and any installation notes. Select the latest version intended for your device and Windows edition, rather than assuming every newer package supports older systems.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, and check that the package identifies Kobil and MIDentity. Extract the files if they arrive in a compressed archive.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer, if provided, and follow its instructions about connecting the USB device. If the package contains only driver files, open Device Manager, locate the device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, reconnect the device as instructed, and check Device Manager for warning icons. Then test recognition in the application you intend to use.

Keep the driver updated when Kobil provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. Before an update, review the release notes and retain a working installer where possible, especially on older Windows versions. A driver update may resolve driver-related issues, but it will not necessarily fix USB hardware or application configuration problems.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installation fails or rolls back: run the Kobil MIDentity installer as Administrator, close smart-card/security applications, temporarily disable antivirus, and reboot before retrying.
• Reader or token not detected: check Device Manager for unknown devices or entries under Smart card readers, reconnect the Kobil reader to a rear USB port, and confirm the Windows Smart Card service is running.
• Version conflicts with older Kobil or third-party middleware: uninstall previous MIDentity and other smart-card middleware, reboot, then install the matching driver version only.
