The France Identity application has been available to everyone since February 2024. Thanks to it, you can take digital versions of your identity card and your driving license everywhere with you. A good thing for the most dissipated people who don't always think to take their physical documents. It is also a way of protecting your data and limiting the risk of fraud. This is probably why Michel Barnier's government would like to go even furtherand add the Vitale card tothe France Identity application.
Gabriel Attal, Prime Minister from January to September 2024, wanted the merger between the dematerialized versions of the Vitale card and the identity card in order to limit the risks of fraud. The High Council for Social Protection Financing (HCFiPS) estimates the amount of social fraudat 13 billion euros annually.« NWe want to secure Vitale cards by pairing them with digital identity cards», repeated his successor Michel Barnier in an interview with La Tribune published this Saturday October 5.
Thus, the integration of the Vitale card into the France Identity application could take place from the first quarter of 2025, according to Le Parisien. Remember that an experiment in 23 departments allowed 400,000 people to scan their Vitale card in the ApCV application. However, the method of saving it turns out to be quite tedious and above all requires having two separate applications for its different documents.
For a time, the idea of a biometric vital card was mentioned,but this track seems to have been definitively abandoned.Regardless, continue to be wary of phishing andsmishing. SMS or emails asking you to urgently renew your Vitale card or to update your file to maintain your rights often come from scammers trying to recover your personal data. Contact your CPAM if in doubt.
