To use the France Identity application, millions of French people will be able to renew their identity document in advance

At the beginning of 2025, the French will be able to request the renewal of their identity document if they wish to create a digital identity, announced the director of French Titles on French Culture.

The France Identity application offers several advantages to the French. In particular, they will be able to dematerialize their identity document and driving license with this application. However, a major obstacle prevents many citizens from using it.

To access France Identity and create a digital identity, it is necessary to have the new biometric identity document, the size of a bank card, implemented in 2021.

Currently, around 25 million French people have this card for around 1.2 million digital identities created, Anne-Gaëlle Baudouin, director of France Titles, the national insurance title agency, recently indicated in France Culture.

Early renewal, but with restriction

Starting next year, millions of French people will have the opportunity to use France Idété, thanks to a new reason to renew their identity document.

Currently, it is only possible to renew the identity document due to expiration, loss, theft or change of marital status. But in case of loss or theft you will have to pay 25 euros.

If they will be able to request a renewal with this new reason starting next year, Anne-Gaëlle Baudouin specifies that, to do so, they will need to be in possession of an identity document issued between 2016 and 2021. Because, apart from this period, the agency It does not have French identity data, such as their fingerprint, in its files. However, this data is necessary for the creation of a digital identity.

French people with an identity document prior to 2016 will have to wait again. With this new reason, France Titles aims to allow more citizens to benefit from the uses of digital identity. In addition to the dematerialization of the identity card and driving license, France’s identity application should soon include the registration document. “This is one of the next steps,” said Anne-Gaëlle Baudouin.
