France Identity dematerializes your TGV INOUI transport ticket
«Since January 20, 2025, a joint experiment between France Identity and SNCF Voyageurs has been launched to use the application on board the TGV INOUI. No need to present your train ticket and an identity document, you will be able to present your France Identity application, especially if you have a TGV INOUI subscription or an SNCF Voyageurs advantage card“, we can read on France Identité.
To use the application in this way, you must first make sureto use the beta version of France Identity.Next step: generate a QR code. Here's how to do it.
- Open France Identity
- Link your ID card using NFC
- Once the QR code has been created, reveal it by swiping your card to the right (or using the button at the bottom)
- Show the QR code during a transport check
The encrypted QR code contains your last name, first name and date of birth, information communicated to TGV INOUI when purchasing your transport ticket. They therefore allow you to know if you have a ticket to travel. Please note, it is clearly specified that you must alwayspresent your train ticket at the access gates to the platform of your TGV INOUI.
«The functionality will be tested for a few weeks before being generalized for all France Identity users.», Specifies the official website of the application. We imagine that in the long term, France Identity will take charge of Ouigo and TER transport tickets.
