The dematerialized driving license becomes a reality accessible to all drivers from this Wednesday, as the Minister of the Interior announced to Le
Parisien
on Tuesday February 13.
This digital driving license will be accessible via the France Identity application, developed by the National Agency for Secure Titles (ANTS), and available on iOS and Android, specifies our colleagues from Le
Parisien
.
To obtain this permit, it will be necessary to first have the national electronic identity card (CNIe), already held by more than 17 million people.
This physical card remains the reference identity document, authenticating an individual thanks to its secure electronic chip.
Once in possession of this CNIe, you will be able to obtain your dematerialized driving license and thus complete your daily digital certificates.
Available offline
It will also be possible to obtain the digital version of the driving license even with an old pink paper license, without the need for renewal.
The permit will be downloaded and available offline for white zone checks.
Law enforcement will be able to check its validity directly from the new NEO smartphones equipped with an NFC chip reader, thus simplifying checks, indicates the Ministry of the Interior to Le
Parisien
.
In addition, the France Identity application also provides for the dematerialization of the green car insurance card, as well as the future inclusion of the registration document and the insurance certificate.
The first tests will begin at the end of this year.
