French Rail Operator Trials Digital ID for Passengers French railway operator SNCF has launched a digital ID trial allowing passengers to verify their identity using QR codes generated by the France Identité mobile application. Initially available on InOui TGV trains, the program matches QR code data, including full names and dates of birth, with ticket information, eliminating the need to scan physical tickets unless required by station barriers. The system uses encrypted transmission protocols to ensure data privacy and security. Passengers must still purchase valid tickets, and traditional forms of ID, such as physical ID cards and passports, remain acceptable. The France Identité app is currently limited to French nationals with electronic ID cards issued after 2021 or qualifying driving licenses, excluding passports and residency cards.
