Now you can download France Identity and scan your ID card.

The France Identity application available in beta version
In the autumn of 2022, the France Identity application, which allows you to benefit from a digital copy of your identity document, was tested on iOS with a selection of volunteers. After some issues with iPhone owners – the devices struggled to detect ID card information – the government app is finally available to everyone. However, this is still a beta version and bugs may occur again.
We remind you that the France Identity application offers users the possibility of scanning their identity card to keep a dematerialized version. It also allows you to create disposable identity documents and connect to FranceConnect life. In the future it will offer 100% dematerialized powers of attorney and digital driving licenses.
Good morning,
We are opening new locations on Android and iOS to gather more feedback before the service goes general.
The applications are now available on the official stores.
