The registration card can now be stored on smartphone, alongside the identity card, the vital card and the driving license thanks to the beta version of the France Identity app. What have a real digital portfolio!

As promised, the government continues to digitize public services. After the digital identity card, the vital card and the digital driving license, it is the turn of the digital registration certificate to arrive in France Identity! Indeed, since June 16, 2025, the gray card on smartphone has been available for all users of the beta version of the application, but under certain conditions.

Note that the Official Account of France Identity had indicated last April to aim for a deployment on the stable version of the application before “The big holidays”before July 2025. It should therefore not be long. After The previous declarations of the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau, it would be an experiment, before a possible generalization in 2026. The precious sesame is therefore late, since it was initially planned for the end of 2024, before being postponed.

France Identity: The gray card joins the digital portfolio

As a reminder, France Identity takes the form of an application available free of charge on the Play Store and the App Store, which allows you to dematerialize your identity card, your vital card and its driving license to store them in your smartphone, and thus easily self -automatically authenticate via FranceConnect. It also makes it possible to make proxies in a 100 % dematerialized manner, without having to move and to communicate your data by NFC.

The registration card presents itself in the same format bank card as the license and the CNI. It will be enough to press it to open it, and it will be displayed vertically with, from top to bottom: the registration number, the date of circulation, the brand of the car, its trade name and its identification number.

By dematerializing it, motorists will no longer need to take the physical version with them. It will be enough to show their driving license and their digital registration certificate via the application. On the other hand, no need to show its auto insurance, since the stickers have not been compulsory for a year.

France Identity: How to dematerialize your gray card?

To be able to dematerialize your gray card, you must start by downloading the beta version of France Identity since TESTFLIGHT (iPhone) or the Play Store (Android). Please note, the beta program may be full, so access is not guaranteed. Recall that in order to take advantage of the digital portfolio, you must have the new identity card in banking format (CNIE). Fortunately, it is possible to renew it before its expiration date on the simple reason to desire to have your identity papers on smartphone (see our article).

After opening the application, you must touch the + button in the “Digital cards” section, then select the “Vehicle registration certificate” option and press “Continue”. To be eligible, the vehicle must be registered after 2009 with an AA-123-AA format plaque and must correspond to one of the following types: private car, tricycle or quadricycle, two or three-wheeled moped, motorcycle.

After relying on “Continue”, it is now necessary to enter the registration certificate number and the vehicle license plate, then press “Accept” to send the data. It only remains to enter its France Identity Code. Last step: approach your physical identity card on the back of the smartphone – a mandatory step for each addition/modification, for security reasons – then press “Add”. And voila!
